| Castle of the Saxon Kings - Bamburgh Bamburgh is one of the most stunning locations for a castle in Europe, sitting high on rocky cliffs in Northumberland above a vast North Sea beach with the magical island of Lindisfarne visible in the distance. It's been a seat of power for thousands of years and has long held the attention of archaeologists. Tony, Mick and the rest of the Team are at Bamburgh to help the Bamburgh Research Project, which for the last decade and a half has been digging through 1000 years of history to uncover the Saxon roots of this fortress. Bamburgh was once home to the 'Bernician Kings', Anglo Saxon overlords who ruled great swathes of Britain. Could there be a unique stone-built hall under the carefully manicured lawns of today's castle? As the Team hear stories of brutal death and financial wealth, and examine finds of gold jewellery and stone thrones, Phil and the diggers edge closer to a tantalising discovery. |
