BAMBURGH | A walk from Bamburgh Village to Bamburgh Castle, beach and seafront!

A walk through Bamburgh to Bamburgh Castle and down to the beach and sea!
Bamburgh is a village and civil parish on the coast of Northumberland, England. We explore Bamburgh from the village to the castle!
The village of Bamburgh is notable for the nearby Bamburgh Castle, a castle which was the seat of the former Kings of Northumbria, and for its association with the Victorian era heroine Grace Darling, who is buried there.
The extensive beach by the village was awarded the Blue Flag rural beach award in 2005. The Bamburgh Dunes, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, stand behind the beach. Bamburgh is popular with holidaymakers and is within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
As the royal capital of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, spell-binding Bamburgh holds a history worth discovering. All the while, awe-inspiring Bamburgh Castle will be your backdrop, and you can wander down the main street, past the cosy Copper Kettle Cafe and towards the village’s landmark red phone box for an especially staggering view.
Dominant and dramatic, Bamburgh Castle’s imposing presence along Northumberland’s coast makes for a magical walk along the beach. Head here from Seahouses using the castle as your guidepost and admire its setting behind the wild dunes that sway in the breeze. Enter the grounds of this iconic, medieval fortification for impressive corridors, towering turrets and formidable fortresses. An array of events are constantly happening at the castle, such as Dragon Hunts, Ghost Tours and even Outdoor Cinema Screenings if you stick around after sunset.
The castle isn’t the only chunk of history that Bamburgh Village has to offer. The RNLI Grace Darling is a museum dedicated to Grace Horsley Darling, who participated in the rescue of nine men from a tragic shipwreck. She became Victorian Britain’s greatest heroine, and the profound event had a huge impact on the RNLI as we know it today.
If you’re looking for a cuppa between beach walks, a cluster of cafes line Bamburgh’s stone-front streets. Plus, the village offers high-end restaurants serving exquisite sea food for those wanting to be wined and dined.
Bamburgh is a stunningly attractive small Village set on the Northern stretch of the Northumberland Coast. It is without doubt dominated by its magnificently striking Castle that can be seen for miles around, giving the whole Village a somewhat dramatic feeling. You can't fail to be impressed by the sheer scale of the Castle once you are up close and in the Village itself. There is much to do in the Village alongside the Castle and it's amazing history, there are impressive stretches of pure golden sandy beaches, many 'proper' English tea rooms and restaurants, St Aidan's Church and a newly renovated museum dedicated to Grace Darling, amongst other things.

I was born in England. My family emigrated to Canada in ‘67. I went back my one and only time in ‘88 and stayed a month. I travelled alot of the country, as well as a week in London doing all tourist attractions. Of coarse, meeting my family was the highlight of my trip, Bamburgh castle was a close second. Standing by the cannons, facing the sea was amazing and powerful. The views from the beach stunning. Your video is the best I’ve come across yet. Thank you so much for sparking some great memories for me. The drone footage was breathtaking. England will always have my ❤.

A most appreciated tour and well done as always. Thank you for sharing as always. We in the states love the old country.

@@GimbalWalkTV I am in the Most Northern Part of New York State in the Adirondack Mtns and close to the Canadian Border and Montreal Canada is 60 miles north of us. Very cold winter and we have snow now on the ground till Spring. A very rural area with lots of Land and wild animals etc. I have many friends in the UK and love the place. Good Day to you also and cheers from the states.

[@dehewitt341]

Why didn't I know about Bamburgh Castle when I lived in England? I visited the Northeast plenty of times and even lived 6 months near New Castle. Beautiful castle, beautiful town. I loved walking down the sandy path to the beach and seeing the hundreds of shoe prints in the sand. But most of all, the spectacular ending with the shots from the drone! Your videos have gone from a nine to a ten since purchasing it! Well done, now go tie that shoelace! :)

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you so much! ha ha Yes - the shoelace was annoying!

[@geoffreyjerrom7771]

Fab love that drone.

[@peteredwards338]

Thank you, really enjoyed the walk. Consider coming back to Seahouses in summer and a boat trip to the Farne Islands for the wildlife, you won't be disappointed. !

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I’m 100% coming back - definitely - will be back in summer for sure

[@Budoscted686]

I am subscribed to your channel and love your walks. I grew up in Berwick on Tweed and emigrated to Canada in 1974. Been to Bamburgh 100's times and had picnics in the sand dunes and swam in the FREEZING water. Great memories and thank you so much for your videos. I will search and see if you have any of Hawick in Scotland where I was born, LOL. Silly me thinks you have walked everywhere. Thanks again.

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

That was GREAT! I was born and grow up in England for the first 27 years of my life before moving to Canada. Your video's make me realize how much I missed! Thank you :)

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ah thanks Derek!

[@LynneUK1]

I haven't been to Bamburgh in 40 odd years, we went on a day trip with the school, Bamburgh, Seahouses and Holy Island. I remember going in the castle and to Grace Darling Museum which was tiny back then.

At 8.26 that Castle looks like it has been superimposed!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

It does! It does even more in real life when you’re there too!!

[@MrOVERANOUT]

I was there in July 2021. The weather was lovely. You missed filming the church and Grace Darling's grave. It brought back good memories.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I’m heading back there In summer for a more in-depth one 👍👍❤️

[@clairbarnard9058]

This was delightful, thank you very much. Just what I needed, being stuck indoors! I’m making a list of places to visit after watching your trips out.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Go for it!! There's some lovely places to visit!

[@johncochrane2707]

[@joline2730]

Oh really !! that ending was stunning and the music just perfect 👍 Do you like our Northumberland flag? It's the red and yellow one near the start of your walk. And what a majestic sight that castle is - lovely photography, well done ✔💯 I do so enjoy these walks so thanks again Gimbal - keep em coming 🤩

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I do love that flag! Will try and feature it more in future when I'm in the area!

[@Sanddancer1]

be wary of people asking for post box images as the rarer ones are being stolen to order its quite a problem now so i fear some of those asking you are just on the rob but that aside its a lovely video and place to visit for a beer and to take pics

[@GimbalWalkTV]

👍👍👍

[@ericbruce4715]

Bamburgh was called Bebbenburg in the days of the Vikings. The Last Kingdom series on Netflix was based on Utred of Bebbenburg. Eric Bruce

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks Eric! Didn't know that!!

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Not this one though. The original was destroyed by the Vikings, then a Norman castle built. I wonder if the sea was closer then? A helluva formidable site.

[@clairetanned]

What month did you take the video? It must be really nice to have the castle all to yourself just like that, and during that season are shops and restaurants open still or just very few?

[@selmabelarmino5174]

Linda

[@diskellyheron7382]

A suggestion for those of us who live outside the UK?..could you put a little map Of UK with a pointer to show which part of the country the Town or Village is?😊

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Great idea!

[@flyinghigh3193]

Just subscribed to your channel,I am enjoying watching your uk locations, what drone do you use please?.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you! DJI Mini 2 - just a small one I can throw in my bag

[@flyinghigh3193]

@@GimbalWalkTVYes thinking of buying mini 2 combo,when it comes down in price,not a pro drone but not far off, my budget doesn't stretch to a mini 3 Unfortunately.

Don't they wash buses in Bamburgh, it was filthy

[@peteredwards338]

The buses are washed daily, that bus was heading back to Newcastle which is quite a round trip

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Mucky buses!

Avoid the castle inn. Proprietor is an ignorant tool.
