- Join me for a walk through the centre of one of Northumberland's most stunning villages: Bamburgh. Though only home to around 400 people today, this village is full of history and spectacular views, with heritage going back millennia that draws in thousands of visitors every year!
As we walk around Bamburgh, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including St. Aidan's Church, Grace Darling Memorial, Grace Darling Museum, Bamburgh Hall, The Grove, Front Street, The Victoria Hotel, The Castle Inn, The Lord Crewe Hotel, Castle Green, Bamburgh War Memorial, Bamburgh Castle and Bamburgh Beach.

I love this area. The UK is amazing and we are lucky to be here. Thanks again for the interesting facts.
It is indeed! The whole Northumberland coast is absolutely spectacular and full of history - especially with the many old castles to be seen around and about :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
My favourite place in the world. Thanks 👍🇬🇧
It's a wonderful place to have as your favourite! I absolutely adore Bamburgh, and the stunning scenery - both natural and medieval - makes it a truly unique part of the amazing Northumberland coast :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
There is also the most fantastic beach there. Yes, the North Sea is chilly, but the flat sandy beach is amazing and on a day with a west wind, blowing back the surf of the waves as they roll in from the west, the views of the castle and sea are amazing.
I agree! Climbing down from the castle through the dunes to that immense expanse of flat sand is quite the experience, and looking out over the North Sea gives such a refreshing feeling :) I'm sorry I didn't manage to take us down to the beach in the video - but thank you for sharing with us, it's a lovely part of Bamburgh!
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Oh beautiful Britain, Visiting today then on to a stay in Alnmouth. Can’t wait! 😃
That sounds like a wonderful trip - Alnmouth and Bamburgh are some of the most beautiful villages in the whole country :) I hope you had a great time, and thank you very much for watching!
I went there with my parents back in 2006 before travelling back to Italy for goods, I wish I could go back one day for a trip, i've got great memories
Only 400 people sounds like my kind of place 😄 glad I found this gem while watching Northumbrian history
Thank you so much to everybody for over 2,000 subscribers! It's a massive milestone and I'm so grateful for all of your support on these videos - it means so much to hear that you enjoy watching them :)
As a treat for getting us to 2,000 - please enjoy a walk around one of the most spectacular villages I've ever visited: Bamburgh!
By the way, here's a bonus fact about Bamburgh: Just to the north of the village is Bamburgh Lighthouse: England's northernmost land-based lighthouse (mind this is not the one Grace Darling lived at). The northernmost lighthouse in England is in Berwick-upon-Tweed, but that's located on a pier so doesn't count as a 'land-based' lighthouse.
That's fantastic news. This is only the 2nd of your videos I've seen so far, having watched your excellent Whitby walk video, and I'm as impressed with this one as the Whitby tour. I'll probably use the coming weekend to binge watch some of your other videos. Well done.
@@popazz1 That's very kind of you to say! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Whitby walk and this Bamburgh walk - there are so many wonderful places across the UK that I've been lucky enough to visit and make videos about - and I have more to showcase in the future :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind comments!
@@LetsWalkUK Oh it's my pleasure. I've seen any number where the common thread seems to be the narrator's love of their own voice, lol. That's not to imply it's the absence of a voice which drew me to your videos, he hastens to add. Also, I'm not one for superfluous detail, a few pertinent details is fine, I just don't need to know Henry VIII's favourite pie filling or what Shakespeare's mattress was stuffed with. ;-) You just keep doing what you're doing and the subs will soar! Have a great weekend.
Lots of happy times in this historic area
I can imagine - Bamburgh is an absolutely spectacular place and especially on a sunny day like this I'm sure you've had some wonderful outings in the past :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for pointing me in this direction. Bamburgh is certainly picturesque, the castle magnificent looking. Doubt I'll ever get closer.
I'd even call it one of the most gorgeous villages on England's east coast! It's a spectacular place to visit, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - if you do get the chance to visit I certainly do recommend it :)
Another one of your beautiful videos. We visited this area 11 years ago and plan to revisit this summer 2022. The visual commentaries are much appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks for uploading this, really interesting and useful.
You're welcome! Bamburgh is such a fascinating place, there's so much to discover and talk about :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Relaxing Footage! Wonderful! Great Virtual Tour! 😊😊👍👍
Thank you so much! Visiting Bamburgh is a wonderfully relaxing way to spend a sunny day - I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the walk :)
Wonderful. Stayed at the Lord Crewe hotel one July many moons ago, happy memories. Light till 10.30 pm, stunning beach, and as the beach faces north-ish, the sun set was seen over the North Sea.
Oh that is wonderful to hear! Right up at the top of England those late, late sunsets are really incredible to witness - especially looking from a beach as spectacular and expansive as Bamburgh's :)
Thank you so much for watching the video - I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it brought back some nice memories!
I am a direct descendant of the family that occupied this home for over 400 years. I live in the U.S I ha e never been here, but it's amazing to see!
Wow! What an amazing connection - I'm so glad this video helped you to see the village around that spectacular home, and I do hope you get the chance to hop over the pond and visit Bamburgh for yourself, you'll be very welcome there I'm certain :)
Thank you so much for watching and your fascinating comment - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
الإنجليز قبل 100عام أو أكثر هم من قاموا في دحر أجدادك من الإمبراطورية لأنهم لم يكونو على المستوى إلذي يو أهلهم أن يعيشوا فيه لهذا قاموا بطردهم 🤔🤔
Excellent tour. Will definately visit as I live in West Yorkshire not too far away.
Thank you so much - I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I visited Bamburgh myself from W. Yorkshire on a day trip, so it is indeed not too far away at all :) I hope you have a great time when you visit!
Nice walk you did. I enjoyed it. Your walks are always wonderful and the town is very historical. Can't wait to see more tomorrow 😀
Thank you so much! Bamburgh certainly is a treasure trove of history, and some absolutely wonderful scenery - and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the walk around the village centre :)
Do stay tuned for more walks in the future!
This is the real England! Thanks for the video.
Great video and what a wonderful day for the walk. I'm going next month and this has whetted my appetite even more than it was already, thank you!
This looks like what I imagined all castles to look like when I was a child! 😍 Truly quite stunning and so must the views be from the castle... beautiful!! Thanks so much for these lovely walks... I'll be sharing some on Twitter and a video travel blog I have.
Me too! The most amazing thing about it is that a family does still live there from time to time, while you can walk around the rooms of the castle as a visitor too - and those views from the castle are really quite something to behold :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - and I'm very grateful for the share too!
@@LetsWalkUK You're very welcome!! 👍☺️
Another great Virtual Tour. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Bamburgh is a wonderful village :)
Thank you very much for watching!
Awesome video , me and my family sooooo can't wait to visit now .
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Bamburgh really is an amazing little place to visit - and don't forget to take a walk along the beach behind the castle too, it's so spectacular :)
Thank you very much for watching - I hope you have a wonderful time!
Thank you for another superb walk.
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, Bamburgh is a truly special place - and certainly worth the visit if you ever get the chance :)
Excellent golf course there with stunning views, when the wind blows very interesting 18 holes
I can imagine! The gusts off the North Sea and that big wide beach must make a game of golf there rather interesting - but you can't beat those views :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK yes I did, now live down under although originally from Newcastle, my second was from Seahouses so have spent a lot of time there, you forget how magnificent the Northumbrian coast line and countryside is..
Along the Wyndings, at the end of the road, is the golf course, which offers spectacular views of the castle and all the surrounding area. X.
That's a great tip! It's often a little quieter than the Castle Green too - so certainly worth checking out on a visit to Bamburgh :)
Thank you so much for watching! I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Beyond beautiful. Let's walk
It really is - that view from the end of Front Street towards the castle is something else! There really are few places quite as stunning as Bamburgh :)
Thank you so much for watching as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed this video!
Another great one, thank you
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Bamburgh certainly is a great place to visit :)
It is a mite small but it’s kept its soul.
Very much so! Bamburgh is one of the tiniest settlements on the Northumberland coast, but its immense popularity is just testament to what it has to offer - a marvellous village :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Nice video , thank you.
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
What a beautiful village. It's kind of what I like - old and small, a place you can chat in a pub and ask locals about what they do and about the history.
I have a couple of questions that are sort of touristy if you don't mind... Is Bamburgh pronounced Bamborough? And the second is - What is the difference between Northumbria and Northumberland?
Again, thanks for another great walk!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video - Bamburgh is utterly gorgeous indeed, and a wonderful place to visit and discover.
Those are two great questions by the way, my apologies for not clearing them up in the video - but here are my answers:
1. The 'burgh' in Bamburgh is pronounced much the same as in Edinburgh, so yes, it would be like saying 'Bamborough'.
2. Northumberland and Northumbria are two very different things, even if they sometimes refer to the same general area. The simplest way I can put it is that Northumberland is the modern-day county you see on maps of England, and once also contained what is now known as Tyne and Wear.
Northumbria, on the other hand, began as an Anglo-Saxon kingdom, from the unification of Bernicia (of which Bamburgh was capital) and Deira (of which York was capital). The kingdom of Northumbria existed until the 10th century, when it began to unify with southern kingdoms into 'England'. Today, Northumbria is a general way to refer to England's North East (especially north of Durham and Newcastle), and you'll see the police force in Newcastle and Northumberland is still known as 'Northumbria Police' :)
I hope that clears things up - and I'm very glad to hear you found the video an interesting watch.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always - it's always a delight to see you here!
Great video thank you. I'm going here in September. I've only been once before when I was younger. I can't wait. Hope the weather is the same then 🤞🏻
Absolutely! It's a fascinating place to visit but a day of good weather only makes Bamburgh even more spectacular - make sure to take a walk on the beach too while you're there, and I hope you have a wonderful time :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK Thank you & will do. You're welcome x
Nice video and very informative. Cheers
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - it means a lot to hear :)
Your videos are great! Is it possible to download some for my collection? For example I've visited Bamburgh and have my own pics. I would like to add a video or two to my memories.
Visiting here in September hope the weather will as good.
I'll admit I was delighted by how lovely the weather was on the day when I visited here :) I hope you get the same sunshine when you visit next month - Bamburgh looks spectacular under blue skies!
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
You can swim to the farne Island too
Indeed you can! Though I must say my swimming abilities aren't quite up to that kind of level - walking is more my thing :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You forgot to tell that we can also reach the place by sea on a yacht or by air with a helicopter. Not just by road ;)
