Bamburgh Castle seen as we walked through sand dune's towards the beach

Our first view of the beach, the islands in the far distance are the Farne Islands, famous for the sea bird colonies

The sea was freezing cold but that didn't stop Tim taking a dip!

Sheena and Tim heading south along the beach towards Seahouses

Looking back to Bamburgh Castle (this is my favourite photo from the walk)

Monks House's about two thirds the way along the beach to Seahouses

Looking out to the Farne Islands from the same spot

Fishing boats moored up in the harbour at Seahouses

Looking north back along the beach from the jetty at Seahouses, Bamburgh Castle is on the left whilst Holy Island is the small dot on the horizon

Heading back down through the dunes at Seahouses onto the beach

Looking back to Seahouses

I couldn't resist this shot of the sunlight reflecting off the stream running across the beach at Monks House's, its a very moody shot

Zooming in on the light house on 'Inner Farne Island', I think birds in the foreground are Eider ducks

A happy dog!

One last view of a distant Holy Island before we headed back to the car

Come on dad I know the way back through the dunes!
