I am Northumbrian born & breed! Northumberland has more castle then any other county in the Uk, with over 70 castle sites. We also have Hadrians wall that was built in 122 AD by the Romans.The wall actually inspired the wall in the game of thrones! It is also the most beautiful county in England, but I am slightly biased!!

Thank you, I was so sad when The Last Kingdom was over.

We stayed in a lovely guest house on Bamburgh village, for a long weekend. The owner took us up to our room and opened the curtains. There, right before us, stood Bamburgh Castle just a short walk away! It was so theatrical that I burst into tears and I don't do tears. It really is a sight to behold.

Bamburgh was my favourite holiday spot. Been there swimming with dolphins. But Lindisfarne on Holy Island across the bay is the most magical place you can find. My local Northumberland friend pronounced it as "Bamba" castle and his family were from the farmhouse on the border.

Bernard Cornwell is probably by favourite author. So I loved that Netflix series. I had to watch this when I came across my feed!

I live and deliver here and its always a sight to see !!! so thankful to live in such a beautful place as Northumberland , god's own country and its best kept secret !!!

A lot of Bamburgh Castle isn't medieval, ( as in it's been lost) in the In the 17th century, financial difficulties led to the castle deteriorating, but it was restored by various owners during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was finally bought by the Victorian era industrialist William Armstrong, who completed its restoration. The castle still belongs to the Armstrong family and is open to the public.

I have never seen the Netflix series. I was, however, in England in ‘88 and travelled a lot of the country. But Bamburgh impressed me the most. Standing next to the cannons facing the North Sea, you can feel the power and the history. A stunning location well worth checking out. Thanks HH. Much appreciated ❤. Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming year! ❄️☃️👼🏻🌟🎁🧑🏻‍🎄🎉🥂🍻🍺🎄🦃

I visited earlier this year. I'm no history buff so I have to admit - I had no idea how big the castle is! What I still don't get is why. Sure, it was big and impressive when it needed to be - to repel Viking invaders. But since then? OK, the Normans wanted to impress the locals, so rebuilt it in stone. But who attacked in the 15th century? The Scots? I can't think who else. If it was hit by artillery, who rebuilt it, and why? The castle is literally across the bay from Lindisfarne. I'd like to know what relevance that had to such a stronghold. Sorry - couldn't give a monkeys about some Netflix show.

Bernard Cornwall has written many books (he has a website), and I think I've read them all, and he has signed some for me. He does his research, and usually adds a historical note in which he says what is fact, or where he has distorted fact for the sake of the plot. He also tries to use place names accurately, as some have changed over time, although often phonetically relatable. Not a lot of documents survive from Saxon times, but there are copious records of the Peninsular War, for example. His books are better than the TV series, but the Netflix series was good, I'll admit.

I’m from the northeast England and my name is a old Northumbrian name Errington. Great video ..thanks for the interesting but sad history of the area.

This castle is amazing as you can see it's grandeur and impressive size as its surrounded by countryside so you can imagine it as it was in this era. Unlike many castles surrounded by modern buildings and facilities Bamburgh Castle has remained scale inside and outside 🤩

Visited Bamburgh the week before Easter. A really stunning castle. When you approach from the west, the view of it is incredible.

This is the finest historian I've ever seen. Even better to learn 👀 ❤️

I’m really glad to see the views & followers going up. The content is fantastic

This is on my bucket list of places to see

I love learning about real history from tv

I was at Bamburgh Castle a few weeks ago because I live in Durham and love the Cathedral, so I wanted to see Bamburgh due to its connections. Its so stunning, it just looms over you suddenly when you're driving up to it and it's so intimidating and beautiful. I feel so lucky to have it close enough to visit.

its a magnificent castle, the scenery around it is beautiful. Northumberland is really underrated

I visited Bamburgh, and it took my breath away. I wonder what it ould have been like for someone in 900 AD with no knowledge of skyscrapers and other tall buildings and seeing it for the first time. Gorgeous.

I’ve visited several times, staying at a caravan site nearby. It’s quite amazing

Good video to watch after getting a platinum in Valhalla, man it was such a great game and yet it's so hated, I sometimes kinda wish that AC Valhalla gets the same amount of appreciation what Call of Duty Black Ops 2 but, it's just not the case. However the series "The Last Kingdom" was the best one on Netflix and I was really enjoying watching your video! 👍

Smashed it 👍🏼 … another great video from HH

Bamburgh is my favourite castle and just a short drive along the road! It dominates the surrounding land. Being the local ancient royal seat and in my opinion, better in many ways than Alnwick Castle. (Of Percy Hotspur fame.) The link with the iconic industrialist and weapon maker for the empire Lord Armstrong, seals the deal for me. It's an incredible place in summer with the best beaches in britain. Even more so in the depths of winter storms. Providing an atmospheric reminder of the regions turbulent past. Come the zombie apocalypse. I know where I'm heading with a band of intrepid warriors, armed to the teeth. "Hail the Lady Bebba and Bebbanburg."

The show is fairly inaccurate historically but a fantastic watch if you ignore that. I loved it. I also love videos like this as it really helps set the record straight. Keep up the good work. Much love from Australia.

We stayed at Bamburgh last year for a week and had a view of the Castle, we had a wander inside and around the grounds, my only disappointment was there wasn't alot of History in there regarding the Viking era, one small room with artefacts was all there was, i thought there would of been a little more. The grounds and surrounding Dunes are stunning and we were lucky to have a week full of great weather. After watching the Last Kingdom it was a great feeling to actually be there, looking up at this Stunning place. But if you go, make sure to visit the other Castles in the area and of course Lindisfarne.

Well worth a visit

I decided to watch this video because of the series its also why I decided to visit Bamburgh Castle

He really gets the details! In Bernard Cornwell's Agincourt book every single name including the main character is from the actual records and were all people who were listed as part of that campaign and battle, he really brings his work to life and is a brilliant author.

This is in no way a quibble, just an observation. The sound level (the whole output level, not between intercuts) is perhaps tad low.. Great little video as ever! 🌟👍

I was born in Northumberland. It is as beautiful as anywhere in the world. Holy island Alnwick, bamburgh, segadunum, vindoolanda, the county has 1500 Years of history under your feet.

I visited Bamburgh, it is magnificent. I walked on the beach and back up through the shrubby dunes. I also visited Holy Island, and from there you can just about see Bamburgh across the water. You mentioned 1464, presumably when Warwick, "the Kingmaker" had been sent up north to deal with the Scots and Margaret of Anjou and Henry VI who was trying to regain his throne from Edward IV. The battle of Hexham happened that year as well. I loved the series The Last Kingdom but haven't finished watching it all yet. Must do so.

3:35 When you mentioned Bebba's Burgh I immediately thought of "Borg" which means Castle or Fortress in swedish. I'm glad that we scandinavians contributed a lot to the forming of modern day Europe. England, France, Slavic countries, Russia. I recommend listening to Dan Carlin's latest podcast series about the vikings called "Twilight of the Aesir".

Never saw the show, I love the books and got them all.

My dad and his sister were evacuated to bamburgh castle after their brother died in the bombing of Newcastle upon Tyne and were in the castle until the end of the war from the slums of Newcastle

Absolutely loved this wonderful series!!! All the actors were so amazing!!!!❤️

I gave up the vikings tv show after s2 but the last kingdom I finished, even the movie released yesterday. Both shows were historically inaccurate but the last kingdom has a clear protagonist and a clear goal. Vikings was pretty stupid in the later seasons because it was about petty feuds and new characters we did not give any bollocks about.

thank you for all the information, love the series

I’m sure I read somewhere that the author of the Last Kingdom series was related to Utred the Bold and that is why he decided to write the series of novels. The books are much, much better than the series as is often the case, but I do love the Netflix show as well. I have it on DVD and have watched it through to the end about five times. I’ve read all the books twice! ❤
