Northumberland castle named one of the most beautiful in Europe by Condé Nast Traveller

Standing atop the Whin Sill and overlooking one of the finest beaches in North East England, Bamburgh Castle is arguably Northumberland's most recognisable landmark.

And now it has been named one of the most beautiful castles in Europe by Condé Nast Traveller. Built in the eleventh century but with foundations dating back even further, the castle has been owned by the Armstrong family since 1894 and is set to become the North East's largest indoor Christmas attraction in the coming weeks.

It is a hugely popular tourist attraction for visitors to the county, as is the village of the same name which has been named Which? Magazine's best seaside town for the last two years. Bamburgh Beach was also been hailed as one of Europe's best by TripAdvisor earlier this year.
