Site Details
Bamburgh's spectacular castle, history and beaches make it popular with holidaymakers and tourists. It is a busy place in summer but the rest of the year is for birdwatching. The most popular area is Harkness Rocks, known locally as Stag Rocks because of a white deer painted on them. They are reached along The Wynding, a dead-end road to the Golf Club. Seawatching over The Sound to The Farne Islands is good and this is the best place in the county to see Purple Sandpiper. The other main areas are the footpath north skirting the golf course towards Budle Point and the extensive dunes and Castle Wood to the southeast of the Village.Birding Sites in the Bamburgh Area
