We stopped at Alwick for a picnic lunch on the beach. We had a stroll down the lovely beach and I had brief paddle in the cold north North sea. Heading north again we tried to get into Bamburgh castle but arrived too late, it was 4:15pm, so had to turn around in a very tight spot by the portcullis.
It was also very busy in Bamburgh village so we left and as the tide was out were able to go over the nearby causeway onto Holy Island. It was now too late to get to Lindesfarne Abbey which is at the far end of the island, so we had a coffee and brownie in the Pilgrims Cafe instead. We had enough time to get back over the casueway although the tide does come in very quickly cos its very flat. But had to leave by 6:00pm anyway to avoid another full days parking.
We finally arrived late at Berwick on Tweed on the south side of the estuary. We have a pitch at the top of the site by the railway line and we can see the sea and the town in the distance from our van. We are here for two nights over the weekend for a bit of a rest. There is a bus into town from outside the site.
