Towering above the tiny village of Bamburgh on the bare, sandy coastline of Northumberland, the massive walls of this medieval fortress are one of two such places believed to be the original site of Lancelot's castle of Joyous Garde. Interestingly, there was a Dark-Age stronghold on the same site, which may account for this tradition.
In 547 it became the capital of the Northumbrian 'Kingdom' of the Angles who had settled there in the early part of the sixth century; as such, it would have been a stronghold of the Saxon alliance, who were Arthur's prime enemies in his fight to maintain British rule. At the time, the site was not called Bamburgh, but seems to have been named 'Din Guayrdi', which may have suggested Joyous Garde to Sir Thomas Malory, who first described it as Lancelot's holding in his fifteenth-century Arthurian 'novel', Le Morte d'Arthur.
Seahouses 에서 Bamburgh 카슬까지 넓게 펼쳐진 비치를 걸어가면서.... 그런데 한여름인데도 이런 아름다운 비치에 추운 바람때문에 파카를 걸쳐야 하는 이몸
바닷가로 조금 더 걸어가는 수고를 하였더라면 이런 사진도 찍어 볼 수 있겠지만 이 넓은 곳을 걸어 다니기에는 너무 힘에 벅차네요. 출처 -
