In terms of location, you really can't beat Bamburgh Castle. Set in a unique whinstone outcrop elevated above the sea by volcanic activity, it is one of the largest inhabited castles in England. It never fails to amaze both children and adults, with its stunning sea views of the Northumbrian coastline, atmosphere, legends, tales, ghosts and special events.

I recently visited Bamburgh on the Northumberland coast as have heard so much about the castle and the sandy beach which was perfect for the kids and our dogs. We stayed in a fantastic cottage on the Main Street in the village called The Grove which was immaculate, had everything we required (and more) and was extremely comfortable and luxurious - an absolute delight, we didn't want to leave.

Make sure you try the legendary Bamburgh bangers and the butchers is situated next door to the cottage!
