Meeting Place: By the railings under Bamburgh castle just down the road from the triangle in Bamburgh village. There is parking on the triangle and in the Castle car park.
Grid reference: NU 183 350
Date & Time: Wednesday 4th August 14:00 – 16:00
Health and safety: Some scrambling on rocks at low tide which will be slippery. Circa 2km of walking. If wet/windy will need warm clothes.
Another opportunity to look at the Whin Sill which here forms the impressive crags on which Bamburgh Castle sits, and look into more detail about its formation. How hot was the liquid rock when it was intruded ? Which way was the rock flowing ? Why was the magma intruded underground ? These are some of the questions that will be discussed as we look at the rocks in this impressive setting
