Bamburgh Castle
Bamburgh Castle is a large coastal castle on the northeast coast of England near the village of Bamburgh. Built on a black volcanic dolerite crag, its core includes a Norman keep and long curtain walls; it was extensively restored by William Armstrong around the turn of the 20th century and remains open to the public.

As it stood in 1904
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive sandstone ashlar fortress sits atop a dark volcanic dolerite crag overlooking a wide sandy beach and dunes. The silhouette is dominated by a rectangular, crenellated Norman keep at the centre, flanked by long straight curtain walls and lower ranges of stone buildings with crenelated parapets. A prominent round artillery tower occupies the east end. The walls step down the slope toward the shore; at prime the fabric is whole and rooflines complete with battlements and pitched roofs on internal ranges.
