Bamburgh and the Holy Island

The day after our adventures in Alnwick, we decided to head up and see the Bamburgh Castle. It's one of the largest inhabited castles in the country and sits right on the Northumberland coastline. Sean had fun running around getting pictures of the castle from all angles, and he definitely got some good ones!

Here are a few shots from outside the castle walls...

After we were done at the Bamburgh Castle we drove a few miles into Seahouses where we got the most delicious fish and chips we've ever had! It's definitely a place I'll want to go back to. Once we filled our bellies, we headed further up the coast to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. You can only drive to and from the island when the tide is low because the road gets covered with water during high tide.
