Susie Castillo Instagram – The 4th castle on our UK road trip took us all the way to the North Sea: Bamburgh Castle
Fun facts:
1. It’s pronounced bam-bruh and sits about 150 feet above the North Sea in Northumbria (northeast of England and super close to Scotland).
2. It’s a prominent filming location for the series, The Last kingdom.
3. It dates back to the Anglo-Saxons (AD547-1066).
4. #bamburghcastle was attacked by seemingly everyone — from the Scots, to the Danish, to the Vikings, to even their fellow English — Bamburgh was the first castle in England to fall to gunpowder during the War of the Roses.
5. Was home to several monarchs throughout the years.
…this castle wasn’t on our list originally, but once we saw the setting, we had to go! Such a cool one 🤩
