Our next stop was
Bamburgh Castle also in
Northumberland on the east side of England facing the North Sea and looking across to Denmark. (The link will take you to a page were you can access a virtual tour. Pretty neat.) The castle isn't just a relict of history but also owned and inhabited by
descendants of the Lord Armstrong Family.

Walking in the entrance

A hidden energy bar for IF an emergency need arose. It did.

A scale replica of the castle and grounds

Many different displays in the King's Hall. Not a very good picture, since we weren't allowed to use flash, but it gives an idea of what the rooms were like.

Left side of Cross Hall

Right side of Cross Hall. The main room is roped off from visitors, but can be opened for weddings and such.

One of many...

...suits of armour.

The ladies sitting room

A tapestry made by Russian prisoners from their uniforms during the Crimean war.

Looking down to the beach from high up in the castle. It was a cold and misty day.
