Day 9 - ​​​​​A day in Bamburgh - a beach, a castle and Grace under pressure

Bamburgh was lovely – a beautiful beach, stunning views of the Farne islands, we visited the castle, the Grace Darling museum and the Church, lunched at the Copper Kettle Tea rooms where we had delicious freshly made sandwiches and a had a really wonderful day walking around the little village. The weather was glorious once more and very hot resulting in some very strange sunburn patterns!

Tea in the hotel restaurant (you must book it gets very busy!) was once again delicious with both of us having Friday fish and chips – giant fish and the choice of Northern or Southern peas.  ​Any good Northerner will take their peas mushy! We had a lovely late night walk around Bamburgh hoping to see the castle lit for the night. We had spent a similar evening at the Grand Place in Brussels one holiday with exactly the same result! Nothing! A few spotlights came on and it was very pretty but sadly we made a real hash of the photos,  so some practise with night time castle shots is quite obviously needed!  
Our stay at the Victoria was a perfect end to our holiday and the three members of staff who served in their restaurant what appeared to be all day were wonderful - friendly, funny and very attentive. We had a lovely room with a view over Bamburgh and enjoyed the best sleep of our holidays!
