English Castles on the Coast

Newcastle tycoon Lord Armstrong purchased and restored the mighty Bamburgh Castle in 1894, after the castle had suffered 400 years of neglect. The castle’s history includes coronations of the  Northumbrian kings between 1095 and 1464. (Eyewitness Travel: Great Britain.)
