Walking on the coast of Northumbria
Based in Bamburgh, our group of 10-plus-guide Walking Women were introduced to the region by learning about the local heroine, Grace Darling. In 1838, at age 22, she and her father rowed out from their lighthouse and rescued several survivors from a shipwreck. In the museum dedicated to her we saw the actual coble they rowed, and it's big and heavy – how she did it in stormy seas, I don’t know. Unfortunately, she died four years later. ...
I can see Scotland from here

Party time at the castle!! Well not really, but we do get to walk around parts of the castle that are ...
Lindisfarne - The Holy Island

There were people everywhere and no way to actually sit and contemplate or even enjoy any silence. I certainly did not feel the presence of the Divine any more strongly than normal.
