Northumberland is England's most northerly county and one of its
most beautiful, with its spectacular countryside and coastline. Its
location on the Anglo-Scottish border brings a wealth of history
and culture, which, together with the stunning scenery, attracts
many visitors who want to discover more of the county's delights.
In this illustrated book, local author Rob Kirkup brings us a
selection of fantastical and mythical tales from Northumberland. It
is unsurprising that the county, which has the most castles in the
UK, also has a wonderful selection of myths and legends including
one from the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, which on one
stormy night was where a warlock commanding a skeletal army
prevented Sir Guy the Seeker from rescuing a maiden in distress.
Could Sewingshield Crags be the resting place of King Arthur and
his Knights of the Round Table, who lie beneath the Northumberland
countryside in an eternal slumber, awaiting the time when they are
to rise once again in England's hour of need? Some of the tales
featured are based on factual events, while others have mystical
roots, but all are nonetheless fascinating.
