https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7550660
Lindisfarne was one of the most important centres of Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England for over a century until monks abandoned it after the infamous Viking raid of AD 793. The ruins you see today are from the early 12th century, when Norman monks from Durham Cathedral founded a new community here.

The Carriage Drive allows drivers and walkers to complete an excellent circuit of the estate. One of the highlights being the views of Nelly Moss Lake. Even on a damp day it's a pleasure.text/html2023-07-25T20:09:01+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/11Andy Stephenson55.376674 -1.818245NU1109 : Edlingham Castle
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7550556
Edlingham Castle dates mainly from the 14th century, although a manor house of the 13th century is probably concealed beneath the later building. The earliest standing remains are those of the hall house, built about in 1300 by Sir William Felton at a time when Northumberland was relatively peaceful.

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7550533
Cragside's house and estate was created by a remarkable couple, Lord William and Lady Margaret Armstrong. William was a visionary Victorian inventor while Margaret was a keen gardener. The couple's passions for engineering and natural sciences are reflected across the estate even today. Rising from an outcrop of rocks and surrounded by towering trees, Cragside is a masterpiece of the late 19th century.
