Lindisfarne

Sue had always wanted to go to Lindesfarne ... Now was a good opportunity so we set off early and headed for the coast,hoping the tides were in our favour .. luckily they were and we were across the causeway and into a slot at the top of the parking bays.

We would start with the castle, since the crowds were just beginning to arrive, so we walked through the village and along the road to the castle.

From the castle we went to the Jekel gardens via the ironworks, and harbour and the shore, before returning to the Priory.

Lunch on the beach and a wander back around to the car park and back across the causeway. A very full day

Back at Rothbury we continued along the road till we found a suitable picnic spot for me to sound out a tune or two before dinner in the pub.
