FLOORS CASTLE

HOLY ISLAND (LINDISFARNE)
This island village contains a 13th century church and many examples of Northumbrian domestic architecture. Most streets are narrow except for the Market Square and Fiddlers Green. The entire village was designed to accommodate several hundred people and its present depopulation gives the place an empty look and a rather tranquil air. The medieval village with its small cottages, mansions and walled gardens can still be picked out. The castle was built for the defense of the harbour in 1543 using stone from the ruined Priory. It is romantically placed and stands as a landmark for miles around.

KIELDER WATER & FOREST

Among the Outer group the best known is Longstone with its lighthouse, made famous by Grace Darling and her father with the wreck of the steam ship "Forfarshire".

HADRIANS WALL
