Alnwick

Last week we took a short break to Alnwick in Northumberland. The castle, owned by the Duke of Northumberland, was used in the filming of some of the Harry Potter films and also Downton Abbey.

We didn't go into the castle but we did take a walk around the grounds

The following day the weather wasn't too bad when we set off for Craster to take a walk to Low Newton by the Sea. However, the rain set in and we got rather wet. 

Craster Harbour

There must have been hundreds of birds on these cliffs and they made such a racket!

We continued our walk along the beach and sat for a while just watching and listening to the waves

Dunstanburgh Castle

Some of the birds that we saw both on the coast and at Newton Nature Reserve

So, these are a few of the photos from Monday and Tuesday. The remainder of the week will follow....
