Bamburgh Castle is set high on a massive rock overlooking the sea and visible for miles along the NorthUmberian coast. The rock was probably used as a natural stronghold by the Celts and the Romans., but is was certainly occupied in Saxon times. Plus Bamburgh achieved widespread fame as the resting place of the head and right hand of St. Oswald. In the War of the Roses, it was held by the Lancastrians, and in 1464, it was captured by Robert Neville, who pounded it to pieces with artillery before it surrendered.

Bamburgh
Castle Beach
In Norman times Bamburgh became the property of Robert, Earl of Northumberland, who in 1095 foolishly picked a quarrel with King William II. The castle was besieged, but held out, and so the King built a siege-castle, called Malveisin, which translates into "Evil Neighbour". It's garrison captured Earl Robert as he tried to sneak off to Tynemouth. His wife surrendered Bamburgh when they threatened to put his eyes out. 8x10
