Quite a full day and my ankle and knee are really feeling the effects of three days of more walking than I have done in quite a while! We left at 9 am and it was about an hour and twenty minute drive through lovely countryside and much more  in the way of signs of autumn.I wasn't wearing the seat belt so when the driver it is a wonder I didn't end up on top of him, whacked my  bad knee and the bruise is beginning to come out. Used the seat belt after that! This picture is heading onto the causeway,

We were there not long after low tide, but there was still a lot of water covering the road. I didn't go out to the castle, it was quite a way and we only had an hour and a half. I had a good look around the priory ruins.

Two of the castle, the close up was because I had the camera with the good zoom!

Another view in the priory.

Two statues.

A view from the grounds.

The Holy Island Parish Church, St Mary The Virgin.

A lovely little church inside and a charming lady who said that I could take photos.

A brilliant statue of the monks carrying the coffin of St Cuthbert.

A beautiful sculpture on the font cover.

Leaving the island, it is a desolate place, but beautiful.

We went to Bamburgh, It started to rain really heavily so I took a photo of the castle and then get back into the coach!

Then we drove on to a fishing village called Seahouses. This statue, called The rescue, was on the sea front.

You can see the Farne Islands from Seahouses, they do trips round them in good weather.

Last photo for today, great coffee shop display!!

Have probably bored you to tears now, and I had lots more pictures I could have put in! Have had mu last dinner here now and packing is the task for tonight. Metro Centre tomorrow.
