Place: Northumberland - Castles

The Focus

From primary research I can see the most popular sights within Northumberland are the castles, from secondary research I can see it's renowned for them, that outsiders, when thinking of Northumberland immediately think of the famous castles which are here

As a child, I was taken to dozens of castles, and remember being amazed by the structures and the history of them. I want to focus on the castles on the Northumberland  coast, meaning I can focus on a small part of the large county. The information I want to gain is the historical element of the castles, along with facts and figures in relation to tourism. The surrounding area and its level of popularity to tourists and why.

The four main castles I intend on focusing :

- Alnwick

- Bamburgh

- Warkworth

- Dunstenborough

.....

I intend on this 'Place' being my final idea to be presented to my peers. So with this in mind, I decided to make a plan of action, in regard to the order of my presentation, which can be seen below:
