In the North East, everyone knows Northumberland has some of the best sea views in the country - and they often include castles.
From Craster and Newton-by-the-Sea, you will marvel at the outline of the medieval fortress of Dunstanburgh Castle perched on a headland. And from Amble Harbour, which was recently voted one of the country's favourite views, the outline of Warkworth's cross-shaped keep will take your breath away.
However, it's the hulking fortress of Bamburgh in the north of the county that is undoubtedly the best-known. And in a recent article on the Mail, the Bamburgh Castle Inn in Seahouses; which opens out onto Bamburgh Castle, St Aidan's Dunes (one of the best beaches in the UK, according to The Times), and the village's picturesque harbour; was named one of the twelve best UK pubs with a sea view.
