Holy Island (Lindisfarne) :: NU1242
Holy Island is a small Island off the coast of Northumberland. It is cut off from the mainland by tides on a daily basis. The island has a long and rich history stretching back to Anglo-Saxon times. The island possesses both a priory and castle. Website: Link
Bamburgh Castle
Bamburgh Castle sits on top of an outcrop of the Great Whin Sill. It has been a fortified location since the 5th century. The Normans built the first castle here. After the Wars of the Roses the castle fell into disrepair. The building seen today is Victorian, built by the industrialist William Armstrong. The castle is privately owned but open to the public.
