Almost all of those spectacular views of the castle you see on paintings and postcards are taken from the vicinity of these rocks. As you go northwards through the village on the B1340, just after the road swings left away from the castle, there is a road turning off on the right called The Wynding. Follow this road for about half a mile or so and there is a long car-parking area alongside the road overlooking the north-west end of the beach and the rock outcrop at its north end, identified by the white stag that has been painted onto the rocks. The outcrop is actually shown on OS maps as Harkess Rocks.The second spot is just a little further on, past the lighthouse, where the road comes to an end at the turning-circle outside the golf club.<a href="http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=bamburgh&countryCode=GB&zoom=14&moveMap=0,-100&mapData=904" target="_blank">http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=bamburgh&countryCode=GB&zoom=14&moveMap=0,-100&mapData=904</a></blockquote>
