Castles Trip

25th March 2019Mrs K Singer

On Monday 25th March we had a school trip to Lindisfarne Castle, Bamburgh and Alnwick Castle view point.  The children loved climbing up the steep hill and steps to Lindisfarne Castle and were blown away by the stunning views from the top.  They enjoyed exploring inside the castle – looking at all the bedrooms and the old kitchen and scullery.  We then headed back along the causeway to Bamburgh and enjoyed a lovely lunch sitting below the castle.  The children instantly commented on the difference in size between Lindisfarne Castle and Bamburgh Castle.  After a quick play in the lovely park and a walk on the beach we headed back to the bus.  Our final stop was at the Alnwick Castle viewing lay-by.  The children enjoyed sitting on the fence taking in the view of the imposing castle.
