Castles and Cathedrals near Durham
Photos from Durham, Newcastle, Hadrian's Wall and St. Anslem's abbey

Welcome to my photos from the North of England (according to the Scotts) These images are mostly from the north of England, around the New Castle area. There are fewer photos because I was running out of film(and energy) when we got here. In my opinion, this area is far nicer than the London Area.

If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, feel free to e-mail me, at

Note, all pictures are thumbnails, click on the image or the title.


"Anslem's Abbey"
This is the remains of St. Anslem's abbey. Unfortunately none of my pictures came out here. Its neat because you have to go out on a road that at high tide gets covered by water(it is on an island.) Outdoor, Natural light photo.


"Alnwick Castle"
This is the castle of the Duke of Northumberland. There is still a duke(or duchess) of Northumberland and the family still lives in the castle. The family does allow people to tour the castle though, about half of the year. It is weird to walk through a still lived in castle, however I would love to live there. Outdoor, Natural light photo.


"Guardians"
A different perspective of the castle. Those "people" you see on the top are its guardians. They have protected the castle from the invading Scott's for over five hundred years. Oh yea they are Iron statues. But they have done their job, the castle has never fallen into the hands of the Scottish. Outdoor, Natural light photo.


"Hexham Abbey"
 

"Tynemouth Priory and Castle"
Tynemouth Priory and Castle. I am told this is in Tynemoth and three kings are buried here. Outdoor, Natural light photo.


"Alley"
Lastly an alley way be St. Augustine's abbey. Like I said in the last part, St Augustine's abbey is tucked into the town its self. Outdoor, Natural light photo.
