No visit to Northumberland is complete without seeing Bamburgh.

History. Vast beaches. Dunes. Castle. Wildflowers. It's an epic place that fills you with a sense of awe.

I never get tired of coming here.

A dense cluster of pale yellow lupin flowers dominates the foreground, their tall spires rising above lush green foliage, while behind them sandy dunes and patches of red wildflowers stretch towards the imposing stone walls of Bamburgh Castle, which stands partially hidden by trees beneath a bright, lightly clouded sky.

A dramatic view of Bamburgh Castle sits atop grassy dunes in the distance, overlooking a sweeping sandy beach edged by jagged dark rocks and patches of green seaweed, with turquoise waves gently lapping the shore beneath a moody, cloud-filled sky.

A vibrant field of red poppies fills the foreground, their delicate petals and green stems swaying amongst tall, pale grasses, while in the distance, the imposing stone walls and towers of Bamburgh Castle rise above the dunes, framed by lush green trees beneath a pale blue sky.
