Finally getting round to uploading the video's of my holiday photography from Northumberland in September 2008.
This is Lindisfarne, as the video explains, its a tidal island, meaning you can only access it by a causeway at low tide. It is a stunning place, with layer upon layer of history, far too much to talk about in the video.
The Northumberland coast is literally strewn with Castles, and from one you can usually see another, I have other video's on here of Bamburgh Castle, and there are some of Dunstanburgh (on the Craster video).
No amount of photography can really capture what a beautiful place this is.
We parked in a designated car park just outside the actual village (only disabled parking is permitted near the castle) and caught a small shuttle bus to the village.
This is known to be the place where Christianity first arrived here, and has a history of wars and battles from the Vikings, as well as the English and the Scots fighting due to Northumberland being so close to the Scottish border, and I believe at one time owned by Scotland.
Photography is rarely allowed inside English Castles, which is a shame, because I would have liked to have shared the inside with you also.
Enjoy the visit....
