Castles of northern England
Bamburgh, Alnwick, Warkworth, Lindisfarne — the Northumbrian fortifications.
Northumberland has more castles per square mile than anywhere in Britain — a legacy of centuries of English-Scottish border wars. Bamburgh dominates the coast on a basalt outcrop; Alnwick is the Duke of Northumberland's seat (and Hogwarts on screen); Lindisfarne sits on tidal Holy Island.
