JDDK is working with the Armstrong family of Bamburgh and Cragside Estates to build a café within a walled garden at the heart of Bamburgh village. The café will be a welcome addition to Bamburgh’s year-round tourist trade.

Working from an existing approved planning application from David and Jane Darcy Architects, the café will feature a large outdoor terraced seating area and a garden with adventure playground in a historic walled garden setting.

Nicky Hodgson, Associate Director at JDDK, said: “This is a hidden gem of a project that will boost tourist trade by sitting hand in hand with Bamburgh Castle at the other end of the village.”

The café is set to have sustainable fittings including PV on the roof, high performance glazing and air source heat pumps and has been designed using use bio-based materials such as oak trusses and larch cladding.
