We certainly picked a good week for holidaying in the North of England. The weather was fantastic and we even had a swim in the North Sea.
We stayed in Alnwick and visited the castle and grounds there a couple of times. Saw where they filmed the broomstick lesson from Harry Potter I! We had a fantastic boat trip to the Farne Islands where we saw loads of seals and puffins (I got a bit carried away taking pics of the puffins!). We had a great day out on Hadrian's Wall and again I got carried away taking photos at the spot that featured in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (the Sycamore Gap). We also visited Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and had our last day in Durham looking around the University as well as the more traditional tourist sites (including yet another Harry Potter filming site - the cloisters of Durham Cathedral).
