When one leaves Lindisfarne, and heads south, leaving all the mead you need behind….
and the St. Cuthbert Presbyterian Church on Holy Island….
and the beautiful fields of rape-seed (not mustard as is often thought)…
The next major fortification down the coast heading south is Bamburgh Castle… a truly awesome structure.
To be honest, the outside of the castle is much more impressive in most respects than the inside.
There are however a few rooms that are impressive, for instance the King’s Great Feasting Hall…
And no castle worth it’s salt should be without a rec room…
But of course if you lose, they put you in the dungeon….
without a get out of jail free card 🙂
