Comitatus are spending the bank holiday weekend on "the rock", the capital of Bernicia, Bamburgh Castle itself.
Built on a basalt outcrop, the castle was possibly home to a Roman watchtower, became the capital of the British Kingdom of Bryneich, and was later the citadel of Bernicia. It's a beautiful evocative location.
From there we'll be heading to Vindolanda just south the Wall, to be part of the Living Frontier event.
