Bamburgh Castle - View from the North.

Bamburgh Castle is probably the finest castle in England. It is perched on a basalt outcrop on the very edge of the North Sea at Bamburgh, Northumberland. It commands stunning views of the Farne Islands, Holy Island and land' ward to the Cheviot hills.The castle has been extensively restored, first by Lord Crewe in the 1750's and more recently by the first Lord Armstrong at the end of the 19th century. The castle continues to be the home of the Armstrong family.

Most people will be familiar with this location, on Northumberland's famous unspoilt beaches. Not only can you see the magnificent castle at Bamburgh but there is also the merest hint of the Farne Islands in  the top left of the picture. 

I chose my viewpoint deliberately and used  the natural sweep of the rocks as a lead in line to take the viewers eye into the picture and towards the castle on the horizon.
