The village's sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland's major visitor attractions.

Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis.

There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
