Travel on the Northern Belle to this stunning corner of Northumberland. Bamburgh Castle was built by famed industrialist Lord Armstrong I in late Victorian times. However, there have been settlements on the site since prehistoric times, and your tour will take in thousands of artefacts amassed over the centuries, from armour to artwork.

What to wear: Smart daywear is appropriate; please do not wear jeans or trainers. Do remember to wear sensible shoes as you will be outdoors for part of your time at Bamburgh Castle.

Access: This trip is suitable for passengers with special access needs. The main entrance is not accessible by wheelchair, but a separate entrance provides access to the building. The first five castle rooms are accessible via ramp. For visitors who have some independence from their wheelchair, other areas of the castle may also be accessible. All areas, with the exception of the dungeon, are well lit.
