If you're in the area anyway then take a trip to the castle for the view from the exterior but don't bother with the interior. It's pretty much a cobbled together collection of stuff from elsewhere and the restoration is poor. We parked at Seahouses and walked via the beach (70 - 90 minutes) Good from outside.Poor inside. Spend your... more

Took some friends although we got in free as members of HHA, they winced a little at the price. Also, ticket office was cramped and had poor exit up steps through a small door. Don't expect to see a castle form the middle ages, there is little of this left, Lord Armstrong rebuilt the place as a home in the... more

We made this visit to the Castle as a day out for my birthday. We have been before but it was well over 20 years ago. I printed off a 2-4-1 deal from the visit England web site so it cost £7.50 for us both. Firstly I was dissapointed that you were not allowed to take photographs inside as it... more

This 'castle' is just a manufactured folly set up by some wealthy family who want to make people pay extautionate money to walk around their house and show off how wealthy they are. There was nothing much interesting to read about history or architecture and it is was so expensive I had to take out a loan to pay the... more

I visited the castle in Aug, probably the wettest Aug in history which didn't help, we paid to park ( £1 quite reasonable ) and walked the short distance to the entrance, we were soaked by the time we'd gotten to the ticket booth, which was tiny and only enabled 2 people in at a time, only to find they... more

The views surrounding and from this castle are beautiful! There is a small your inside which has some beautiful artifacts and I did love the small museum of the archeological finds surrounding the castle. You don't have to spend a lot of time here but it is a nice afternoon visit. more

I visited Bamburgh Castle last weekend with my family and we had a lovely time. There are 12 public rooms to view, all displaying china, paintings and furnitue from different historical influences. The guide book was thorough and the guides who worked there were only too happy to explain the different exhibits and the history behind them. The Norman Keep... more

Visited in March 2008, entrance fee for adults £7 and car parking £1. All that visitors get for this is a short tour through about 6 rooms, sparsely furnished with odds and ends many on loan from elsewhere. Do not presume to answer any calls on your mobile phone here or you will be reprimanded by the warder masquerading as... more
