We stopped at Holy Island. Twice per day, for five hours each time, the ocean covers the only road. We made it on to the island, but this is as close as we got to Lindisfarne Castle, as the tide was coming in even as we arrived.
We passed Bamburgh Castle as we headed down the coast.
Here is Joseph at Alnwick Castle, where we spent the afternoon. This castle was used as the set for Hogwartz.
The courtyard at Alnwick Castle has a statue of a knight.
In Alnwick Castle is an area where visitors can dress in royal garb, joust on a moving platform, go through a mirror maze, and do about 10 other activities.
Here the kids are a Hogwartz... I mean, Alnwick Csatle.
Parts of the interior on display are spectacular, but photography was prohibited in those areas. So, this is one of the few photos I was able to take inside the castle.
A walkway leads along the castle wall.
Our next destination was York. The cathedral in York is immense and beautiful, but difficult to capture in a photograph because of its size.
