Description: This is an image of the castle on the tidal island of Lindisfarne (Holy Island), which sits off the coast of Northumberland. The island has had a turbulent past with raids by the Vikings and being in the volatile "Borders" region between England and Scotland. Access to the island is via a causeway that floods twice a day, so you have to time your visit accordingly. The approach to the castle is quite dramatic as the mound upon which it sits is the highest point on an otherwise very flat landscape. We were told that the rocky outcrop was all that remains of a long extinct volcano. Being so elevated, it offered a strategic advantage to those who might have defended it. But what do you do with a castle when there's no more need for a castle, w
Description: This image is of a section of Hadrian's Wall, looking east, near Once Brewed, Northumberland. It is this section where the wall reaches its highest elevation, at about 1100'. As an aside, this is quite close to where the ill-fated Sycamore Gap tree was felled a few years ago. The countryside around the area is spectacular, with its rolling hills and a much varied rural landscape. The escarpment in the distance would have acted as part of the defences in front of the wall. Alas, there's no part of the wall that remains fully intact, much of it was pillaged for its stone. However, the original line of the wall is largely still evident along its 73 mile (117 km) length (coast to coast) Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Description: This is an image, in part, of the ruins of the priory on Lindisfarne (Holy Island), which is off the northwest coast of England. The island is tidal and connected to the mainland by a causeway, which floods twice a day. The ruins date from the establishment of the priory by the Normans, following the "Conquest", but the site had previously been that of a monastery with a history that goes back to the mid-7th century. The original monastery was destroyed during the Viking raids. The stone arches and walls are all that remains of the old priory, but these ruins hint at the grand architecture from that bygone era.
