10. Rich in history
It’s believed a garden was first laid here in the 1600s by the Forsters, Bamburgh Castle’s first private owners. The Garden has been part of Bamburgh Castle Estate ever since. The Garden was once tended by Job Horsley, the grandfather of Victorian heroine Grace Darling. Part of the Garden was gifted by Bamburgh Castle Estate to construct a building containing Grace’s rescue boat. This became the RNLI Grace Darling Museum in 1938, located next to Bamburgh Walled Garden. | National World
