The Laidly Worm of Bamburgh | A Northumbrian Legend
The Laidly Worm of Spindlestone Heugh, also known as the Laidly Worm of Bamburgh, is an old Northumbrian legend that dates back centuries. Closely associated with Bamburgh Castle and the Spindlestone crags, this story is about an unnamed king of Northumbria that marries again after the death of his wife. His new bride, who turns out to be an evil witch, grows jealous of the king’s daughter. She curses her and dooms her to become a terrible serpent creature. Only the return of her brother can put an end to the curse, but he is presumed dead...

The Jolly Reiver is my project aiming to preserve and promote the forgotten folklore and history of rural Britain and Ireland. Primarily focusing on folklore and legends, you’ll not find me trying to deconstruct these old stories or trying to rationalise them with science and psychology. Instead I will present them as they were always told by our forebears, and leave the conclusions up to you. Videos are filmed on location to show you exactly where these stories took place.
