Ripley castle is much smaller than I expected it to be, but, it was fun to walk around. Make sure you take the tour to find out about the history of the castle. Walk around the gardens and deer park. Then relax at the tea ...

This weekend I went to Berwick-upon-Tweed, Holy island and Lindisfarne castle. It’s a great place for walking but make sure you check the tide times before setting off to the island. This photo is of the small harbour and castle in the background.
