10. Bamburgh Castle

Northumberland, England

It’s hard to know where to look at times – the eponymous Bamburgh Castle is quite a sight from on high while Northumberland’s famous golden beaches seem to stretch away forever. It’s also an endlessly entertaining golf course, packed with quirky holes and changes of elevation.
