On Wednesday the weatherman promised blue skies so I took a run down to the coast of Northumberland (northeast
England)
 |
| Yester Parish Kirk in Gifford, east of Edinburgh, is a welcome sight. After 70 miles of motorway, this is where the fun begins. |
 |
| South of Gifford the road climbs into the Lammermuir Hills. This is a view back to the Firth of Forth |
 |
| Cottages at Flouden |
 |
| I'm now in England. This is the mighty River Tweed at Berwick with Whiteadder Water on the right |
 |
| Bamburgh Castle |
 |
| The beach at Seahouses |
 |
| The harbour at Craster |
 |
| This little guy took a shine to me |
 |
| Lobster pots at Amble |
 |
| Beach huts |
 |
| River Coquet and Warkworth Castle |
 |
| Warkworth Bridge, looking good for 640 years old. |
Wow, you saw a lot of good things on your ride. Very nice photos, looks like a perfect day for ride.
ReplyDeleteA perfect day, yes. You've just got to keep an eye on the weather forecast for days like this.
DeleteIn Britain (and Europe generally) things are not far apart so you can see a lot of interesting sights without going too far.
Because of the centuries of conflict between Scotland & England area is a good place for castles.
