Lindisfarne Castle

As the causeway did not close until 1.00pm we had plenty of time after breakfast to walk to Lindisfarne Castle on a beautiful warm morning. Sidne does love her castles and this may be very small but it is one of the nicest we have seen and the views over Holy Isle and the Northumberland coast are just superb.
The Castle courtyard
Looking out over the fields is this lovely walled garden 
The small dining area in the kitchen

The main hall looks more like a corridor but the floor is very attractive

At the entrance to the Castle they have maid full use of the old upturned boats. Holy Isle is the only place I have seen boats used in this way.
