Lindisfarne Castle

Lindisfarne Castle
A look up to this imposing 16th-century castle from the shore. A good climb for those fit enough and it is possible to look around it too.

It was much altered by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1901. The island is accessible from the mainland at low tide by means of a causeway.

PiP

Have a good weekend

Two beautiful shots Herb. You and your wife must be fit enough to climb to the top, with all the walking you do! This place is still on my list, and I'll get there one day. A beautifully framed PiP too.

HFF and wish you a good weekend, Rosa.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks a lot Rosa. In this instance we did not go up as we had quite a busy agenda. We have been up and I think even paid the high entrance price to go in, many years back now. As you surmise, I don't think the climb for this would have been too troubling. Glad you liked the PiP too.

HFF, enjoy the weekend.

It was a fine Island Steve with places and buildings like this. There are not many places in the UK with as much history as Holy Island.

Great shots there Herb'... we have walked the 'causeway' both ways...but never got to the actual castle,.. // Keep well youth,.. have a fine weekend and a ''HFF'' to you - from Dj.
19 months ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to David G Johnson club
Good to see you again Dave. In this instance we drove and parked up on the Island itself. I think the last time we went, we did walk across and back even after returning with the car. Twas funny to see a father and child get there feet wet a the tide raced over the causeway as they where running across. Been in the castle then too but not this time.

HFF, enjoy the weekend.

I think this has something to do with Mont Saint Michel. I think the high and low tide.
19 months ago. Edited 19 months ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Daniela Brocca club
Hi Daniela. Always good to see you here. I don't really think this has anything to do with Mont Saint Michel at all, this being on Holy Island Northumberland near Scotland and your St Michel in France. I know both castles are on similar high rocks though. I rather doubt the families knew each other!

Best Wishes. Herb

A great Island to explore. I know people who have stayed the night on the Island and that must be better than rushing around as we did.

It is a beautiful island Herb and these shots are terrific. I particularly like the main image of the castle. It pays to go over as early as is possible as it does get very busy.

HFF and have a good weekend

Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
Thanks Carol. Yes a great Island and we did go fairly early but it is the tide times that maters to get over. We had calculated the times for the max time there.

I didn't know it was a Lutyens alteration - live and learn! A fine shot, Herb and not one I would ever dream of adding a Curtis Mayfield musical link to! :o)
19 months ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Thanks Andy. To be honest I had never heard of him until reading his name for this from Wiki. He did design quite a lot of famous buildings here and abroad (especially in India) and so this would have been one of his minor works I suppose. So we both 'live and learn'. Glad you liked it.
Yes, better not 'Curtis Mayfield' for this scene.
