Sometimes the most memorable places are ones closer to home. A visit to Holy Island this summer on a cloudy day. You can the weight of significance as you walk towards Lindisfarne. #Northumberland #NorthumbrianHistory #Lindisfarne #HolyIsland #Travel #staycation #photography #Seascape

One of my favourite historic maps is the 1769 map of Northumberland by Andrew Armstrong. Not as detailed as later maps, but so fascinating to explore and compare. Pic is Sheet 1 (compressed), but the whole thing can be accessed with HD zoom and download options at http://digitalarchive.mcmaster.ca/islandora/object/macrepo%3A92703
