On our way from Edinburgh we stopped in at the border between Scotland and England, in Northumberland. This was right near the most northern point of England, and overlooked the North Sea towards Scandinavia.

Four kilometres south-east of the border was the market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, then about 15 minutes further along was Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island. A monastery was founded here in AD 635, then it became the site of the first major Viking raid in AD 793. Lindisfarne Castle was built here in around 1550.

Lindisfarne is a tidal island so at low tide you can get there by driving or walking across a 4.8km causeway known as the Pilgrim's Way. We didn’t get any photos on our way past, but I have added two stock photos above at the end - one of Lindisfarne Castle, and one of the causeway at low tide. I'd love to come back and explore the island some day.
