1 review of Lindisfarne Castle

Bamburgh Castle

The first highlight of the castle is the amazing views. It is right on the top of a rocky hill, therefore, it's the highest point on all of the island. The views reach almost every corner of the island, the most impressive of the bay - from that point, you can see all of the town and Bamburgh Castle on the sands of the beach (a few miles away), another high point of the area. It was Originally built in the time of the Tudors (XVI century) although throughout history it has suffered multiple reforms. The most interesting and the last reform was when it turned it into a summer residence in the Edwardian style by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

Finally it was donated to the National Thrust, a foundation that is responsible for its maintenance, and it runs the castle as a museum. b Basically, the construction of the castle with the cessation of operation of the priory and its goals were defensive and strategic direction meniconado with Bamburgh Castle. The most strategic was the views, not about defense, as any invader came before the people to the castle ... Sounds more like refuge for the nobles, and the people of the town ... As so often in the history of mankind.
