Oh why when I was young and had energy to go but no money and now old with some money but NO energy. But cheer up I have the Memory Seekers to take me anywhere I want to go so all is well. lol. Thank you two. Hugs and blessings ❤
When I was young in UK I was also the mum of 4 small kids, so getting involved into history was a bit off the radar. I did discover North Wales during that time developed a passion for ancient history but it's really only now in my very old age(84) that I have the time to investigate & find the connecting links everywhere - so thank you RUclips & this channel for the help in expanding my knowledge ! Never too late to learn !
I just love your videos, so expertly done and narrated, and I enjoy a bit of commentary from Will, it's nice to see his smiling face and not just the back of him. Can't wait till the next video!
Lovely tour of the holy island of Landisfarne, quaint village of homes and businesses. I think it would be fun to spend a night or two on the island. Thanks for bringing us along
We were lucky to have a fortnight holiday on Lindisfarne last year, which miraculously coincided with a two week heatwave! Arriving by train (Berwick on Tweed) and taxi, and with a Tesco delivery that set us up for our stay. We walked our socks off each day, yes and it was lovely when the day trippers went home! Your videos brought back many happy memories. Thanks.
Two weeks on the island, wow what a base. Did you find it hard to get around the rest of Northumberland due to the tide? Or did you just stay on the island exclusively?
@@MemorySeekers We stayed on the island, apart from taking the weekly bus to Berwick to buy some garden canvas chairs, as the fixed seating in the garden was in the hottest part. We were not spoilt for choices of walks, my husband’s only disappointed was not getting to see “Vera’s” house on the island.
I was so looking forward to our this year from New Zealand to visit Lindisfarne on May 19th but unfortunately I was sick and missed the day tour. Thank you Simon and Will for this and all the other places we get to see through your eyes.
Fascinating island guys. The architecture and superb stonework of the old monasteries is treat to behold. The skill of those stonemasons of yesteryear were astounding. Thanks for this treat.
Dear Simon &Will thank you both for all these wonderful videos , omg lindysfarne is so mesmerising and amazingly beautiful , we love it !Nice to see Will talking to us 😁thank you so much ,northumberland is so beautiful and full of history.Greetings from hamburg !
Great vid, guys. I was in the UK last year. I have a lithographic print on my wall of Lindisfarne Priory, which I purchased at Durham Cathedral. Can't wait to see what you make of Durham. Cheers. 🤓👍
Will has his waterproof jacket this week. :) Really enjoyed this. We’ve been in the area but not to the island. You’re making our travel list get longer and longer.
Cheers Neil, I did Bamburgh on a school trip also years ago! Hardly remembered it though apart from the Grace Darling museum which has always stuck in my mind for some reason!
If you ever visit again you need more time, you missed a treat in the castle! Hope you got to taste the mead, we always end leaving with a few bottles 🥴🍷🍾 Nice to see Will doing a bit lately, making him earn his dinner eh Simon, all the best gents.
We had so many castles to visit during that week, so we missed going in some of them as it would be an overload for us! I think we still go inside 5 during our series and doing all that in 1 week was enough. Not a fan of mead and it wasn't open when we arrived. It might have been because it was a Sunday. Holy day and all! ☺
I am a Northumbrian and made a comment in one of the other videos. I said that the weather is not always a nice sunny day I remember most of the time it was overcast with occasional rain. My first memory of this lovely little island was when I was about seven with my parents and two brothers. It has become more commercial now than it was sixty years ago but always worth a first visit and spend a full day on the island. It always amazes me that in the UK you have to pay to park everywhere you go and that nothing is free. I have lived in Spain for nineteen years and except for the middle of a city, just about everywhere in Spain is free parking. Another good video cheers.
Hello, thank you for commenting again and sharing your memories of a first visit. I don't mind paying for parking if I feel I am getting something for it. Example clean toilets to use if need be. But to put a minimum of £6.50 and 3 hours is just money grabbing for what was a field in essence. Over the course of that day we stopped 3 times at £6.50 a go and the last place was just for 1 hours. It makes it very expensive and I think puts people off from stopping. Maybe that is what the council want? So glad you enjoyed watching.
Absolutely beautiful, Thank you Both so much for sharing it with us! Waiting for your next video to come out is like being a kid again and waiting for your birthday thats just a few days away! The joy and excitement when that day finally gets here is the same feeling!! Bless you and Will SO MUCH for all the time and hardwork you do to produce these for all of us to enjoy!! ❤❤
Merci pour cette formidable bouffée d'air frais après la canicule de ces derniers temps ! Sans oublier votre connaissance parfaite de l'histoire des lieux quels sont les oiseaux niches dans les murs , la population a l'air peu nombreuse , j' aime profondément ces ambiances! Recevez l'expression de ma reconnaissance pour vos merveilleux reportage, soyez bénis tous les 2 ,avec toute mon amitié et ma sympathie🤗😊
Merci beaucoup pour le commentaire et pour avoir regardé notre chaîne. C'est un très petit village où vivent environ 150 personnes sur l'île. Bien entendu, à marée basse, le village devient très fréquenté. Nous avons eu la chance d'être là tôt avant que la paix et la tranquillité des oiseaux ne soient rompues. Un endroit charmant pour passer la journée.
Outstanding! Another excellent video of this lovely 'Holy Island' of LIndisfarne. It is very beautiful there with such charming & rustic wee Churches, delightful & quaint wee Homes & other quaint wee buildings. As well as, the unique & impressive Castle on the Hill, rising above it all. Moreover, the Wildlife Observation Windows at the Conservation Area, which is so beautiful, would be fascinating to visit & view the Wildlife there. Lindisfarne certainly has such a rich & fascinating History as well! Accompanied, as always, by truly excellent filming & footage, as well as, a very interesting & informative Commentary! Thank you for sharing another delightful experience on this truly captivating & intriguing 'Holy Island'. Blessings to you both!
How do you do! While we are trembling from danger of war here in Russia, your video and voice takes me to another reality of calm and beautiful life with very interesting history,where I enjoy cosy village life, charm nature, amazing seaside, fresh air after rain and wonderful trip with your and your pleasant friend, thanks🌹❤
Lovely to see a cool foggy morning; in the throes of hot, humid August here in CA, though not on fire in my corner of the state. I've learned to embrace the humidity. I have to say that Lindisfarne is the last place I expected the hand of Lutyens. Really interesting. I hope to see that Arts & Crafts interior some time. As always, a terrific tour of those windswept shores with their famous ruins. I love seeing the different kinds of stone, and how they are joined in a manner that has kept them standing for all these centuries. That parking fee does seem a bit steep for a patch of muddy ground. As a huge fan of The Last Kingdom, I'm very excited for next week. Cheers!
We had so many other castles to visit that week, we didn't want to overload ourselves or you guys! I think we still visit 5 castles with the interior shots during our week. So this one, this time was missed. We would love to go in them all, but at least we can go back and do it another time. ☺
I enjoyed a lot 😊 thank u for sharing such incredible greenery island, I love the birds singing especially like very perfect nature song❤ Im absolutely waiting for next episode 😀

Thank you, I am trying to get him to do a bit more!
Thanks,fellas....I will be watching Becket once again in prep for next weeks video.....Coos Bay, Oregon
Thank you for the wonderful video of this historic and picturesque island. You never fail to combine interesting history with beautiful views.
It was a very interesting and unique place to visit. I can understand why so many come here.
Hello Simon /Will , this was a great video really enjoyed thank you always nice when is the history is part of the video well done.
Ah thank you ☺️

Yes I think one night to enjoy the quiet and the local pub would be lovely.
@@MemorySeekers Any plans to go back, stay one night & go to a local pub? Maybe a mini weekday retreat?
@@marshabrubaker185 Not yet maybe in a few years. Lots of other parts of the country to explore first!
Great show ,i love old churches n such :)
Thank you for watching.
This video took my breath away! Well done, wow, Holy wow! Thank you, can't wait for next week.
Thank you so much, very kind.

Yes it is amazing how they built places like that 1000 years ago. We couldn't do it today!

So pleased you are enjoying the series. Yes indeed the cameo from Will was a nice surprise! 😊 it’s a lovely part of the country. All the best.

Will has his waterproof jacket this week. :) Really enjoyed this. We’ve been in the area but not to the island. You’re making our travel list get longer and longer.
Haha yes he didn't make that mistake again, but then it did rain almost every day!
Loved it chaps..I went on a school trip to Lindisfarne years ago and really enjoyed it.
Just about to pop Bamburgh on..regards to you both.

Amazing & enjoyable video. Thank you both. 🙏🙋 Always the best well made videos. ✨

Jak zawsze super❤👍
Went there may 1977 it was a school trip from London spent a week in feather stone castle 🏰 near Haltwhistle
Thank you for this amazing content!!
Glad you enjoy it!
I have enjoyed this very much, God bless you for showing it. From where is the music sung on min 12? I am from Argentina.
Thanks for another interesting video. The narrative is well written. Are you journalists or teachers? G'Day from Australia.
Thank you Richard, no neither of us have that background. IT and finance. ☺
Another excellent video. Btw Lutyens at 18.22 is pronounced Lutchens. 😇
Thank you for the correction!
@5.13 - the house on the corner . The woman who lives there does the best crab sandwiches out of her back door
Sounds wonderful!

This place is father of anathema, turning the simple worship of a congregation into pagan forms!
why dont we rebuild cufberts priory instead of all this new age garbage
Very few people with the skills to do it now, if at all. Then there is the cost! There is no character in the buildings of today.
