Another shot of Bamburgh Castle, this time taken from the beach that runs below the outcrop of basalt on which the castle is built.

During his renovation of Lindisfarne Castle, Lutyens used upturned herring boats as storage sheds. To this day, boats are used in this manner at the castle and, as here, down by the harbour. Their form was cited by Enric Miralles as an inspiration when he was designing the new Scottish Parliament building.

On the way home from the holiday in Northumberland we stopped off at the North of England Open Air Museum at Beamish, County Durham.

The museum, which was established in 1970, aims to show what life was like in the north-east during two key periods, the era of industrialisation around 1825, and at the climax of the urban industrialisation around 1913.

The town is one of a number of sites in the museum (others include a farm, a colliery village and a railway station), and is made up of a variety of chiefly Victorian buildings transported brick by brick to the site from various towns and villages in the north east. The view above shows part of the terrace of houses that lead onto the main street of shops, as well as the tram lines that ferry visitors around the museum site.

Another view of Dunstanburgh Castle from across Embleton Bay. This one is taken from nearer the castle than this shot, although they're quite similar. I can't choose which I prefer, so I've ended up uploading both of them!
