Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, England. It stands on this rocky outcrop adjacent to the beach and sea. The first fort here was Celtic between 420 and 527 A.D. After changing hands several times the Anglo-Saxons dominated for over 400 years.

Poem.

High on a rock,
with beaches and dunes below.
Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans
all fought for a castle, here.
Bastion of the enchanting Northumbrian Coast.
Bamburgh village grew in medieval times, to serve its needs.
Dissolution of the Monasteries even had it belong to King Henry V111.
A landmark for time immemorial.
A rock made for castles.
