The Castle on the Hill - HFF!

The Castle on the Hill - HFF!
Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland

The site on which this castle stands has it's origins in Anglo Saxon times when it became the seat of King Ida of Bernicia. The fortress was destroyed by Vikings in AD993 and the Normans later built the original castle on the site. During the Wars of the Roses it became the first castle to fall to artillery in the British Isles.

The castle has had many owners and has in its time been used as a hospital for the poor. a school and a hospice for shipwrecked sailors before being purchased in the late nineteenth century by Sir William Armstrong who restored and renovated the castle between 1894 -1904.

The castle still belongs to the Armstrong family and is one of the largest inhabited castles in the country.

It is a popular location for films and became 'Hogwarts' for the first two Harry Potter films and was also featured in 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves'
