Bamburgh Castle - The Last Kingdom Standing Strong

Bamburgh Castle is located on the Northeast coast of England near the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. It is a Grade 1 listed building which means is has been placed on a statutory list maintained by Historic England.
It was most recently featured on the Netflix Movie, "The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die". It will also be featured in the upcoming Indiana Jones film. It was also a featured location in the Starz and Netflix TV series "Outlander."
Prior to Bamburgh Castle being built, the site was the location of a Celtic Brittonic fort called Din Guarie. The fort was founded sometime between 420 to 547. The fort passed from control of the Britons and the Anglo-Saxons several times and finally rested in control of the Anglo-Saxons in 590. It was destroyed by the Vikings in 993. Eventually the Normans built a castle on this site which became the core of Bamburgh Castle. It became property of the English monarch after a revolt in 1095.
It deteriorated during the 17th century and was restored by several owners during the 18th and 19th centuries. Victorian era industrialist William Armstrong bought the castle in 1894 and completed restoration.
It continues to be owned by the Armstrong family to this day. Francis Watson-Armstrong is the current owner or preservationist of this castle. It first opened to the public in the 1900's.
If you would like to visit the castle, ticketing information can be found on their official website: www.bamburghcastle.com/

The real castle's appearance at the end of "seven Kings must die" had me feeling oddly patriotic as well as slightly upset to see the series end.

[@sgassocsg]

Oddly patriotic? Pride in your culture? You imply England produced riches and blessings for many?

[@ivansaric4752]

Are you native to the Babbenburg?

[@rpscorp9457]

This structure is amazing. "The building’s upkeep costs hundreds of thousands of pounds each year and it is entirely dependent on visitors, weddings, events and self-catering accommodation within the estate. Ten private apartments are also rented out to long-term residents, with another let as a holiday home." Can you imaging rolling up to this Castle and telling your date that yeah, this is where I live lol.....

[@lundypete]

On a historic note, the original castle was already in excess of 400 years old before the time of Uhtred, who actually had a very limited historical impact. Just a note to foreign visitors: its pronounced Bam-brer and not Bam- ber-er

[@CammieBlueSky]

This looks like an amazing place and like everyone else I'm here after watching The Last Kingdom. I wish we had something like this on our west coast, I'm from Denmark, but we don't have castles situated this close to the beach and with that view.

Amazing location for sure.

Well, Danes made their mark here too - the "geordie" accent of this Northumbrian area has a number of Danish phrases in it - and most of we geordies aren't aware. "Gan Yem" for Go home for example

Bamburgh is it’s modern pronunciation….so how the hell is this saying Austrians are British. What’s hard to understand ??? Many modern towns/places today had a totally different name going back over the centuries. Take York in England. Romans called it Eboracum..the Angles/Saxons called it Eoforwic..the Vikings conquered it and renamed it Yorvik…the modern name York derives from.
