Bamburgh Castle, located in the village of Bamburgh on the northeastern coast of England, is a historic fortress with roots tracing back to the Anglo-Saxon period. Perched on a basalt outcrop, the castle offers commanding views of the North Sea. Its strategic significance is evident from its tumultuous history, including Viking invasions and Norman conquests. The castle was extensively restored in the 19th century by the Victorian industrialist William Armstrong, who transformed it into a family home.
