Purchased from here several times, during our week long holiday in Bamburgh. Everything we had was top quality. Wonderful sausage rolls and scotch eggs, superb lamb (Bamburgh Parish Spring lamb), rare breed pork from County Durham and great rib eye steaks, from Northumbrian cattle. Needless to say we stocked up well on our last day!

Beautiful little church in the stunning village of Bamburgh. The resting place of Grace Darling and amazing views of the coastline.

The RNLI Grace Darling Museum tells the incredible story of Grace Darling, a fearless young woman who became a reluctant celebrity. In 1838, Grace and her father William risked their lives to rescue stranded survivors from a ship wrecked in a fierce storm. This feat of bravery changed her life dramatically. Explore Grace's life and upbringing in the lighthouse, the events of the rescue that propelled her into the limelight and her status as a national heroine. During your visit you'll discover personal items and portraits of the Darling family, including the famous boat that Grace and her father used during the rescue. See if you can light up the lighthouse, and learn more about Grace and other female lifesavers too.
This small museum has been well thought out and I’d emerged feeling as if I’d met Grace and her family. Having had an English education I knew little of this event - my 6 year old Scottish granddaughter was enthusiastic to talk about my visit as a result of Scottish schooling . 2 helpful videos and lots of artefacts moved us through the small space with the rowing boat being the piece de resistance, helping Visitors to appreciate the bravery at the heart of this story. Helpful staff and a small shop add to the experience. Free but it only feels right to make a donation to the running of the place through the RLNI. Go upstairs for a great view and an photo opportunity for children.
