One of England's most magnificent
castles, Bamburgh Castle stands high above the village of Bamburgh, offering
far-reaching views to Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands. It was
restored at the end of the nineteenth century by Lord Armstrong, whose
descendents continue to live at the castle. The interior is just as
impressive as the exterior, particularly the King's Hall - and there are
plenty of works of art and a huge collection of china to admire. The Clocktower tea rooms serve light lunches, cakes and other refreshments, and highchairs and a children's menu are available. Pushchairs are allowed in the castle, but note that there are some steps inside to negotiate - so if your baby is not asleep, you may find it easier to use a back-carrier. Note: just before you leave the castle
there is a "Dungeon" exhibition. This is completely unsuitable for
children (and probably for humane adults too) so do be sure to whisk your
children swiftly past the door to this area. It's a shame about this
area, as the rest of the castle really is well worth a visit. |
