Lindisfarne is off the Northumberland coast in the north east of England, just a few miles south of the border with Scotland. The holy island is linked to the mainland by a causeway, which is flooded by the tide twice a day.

Electric trams first appeared in London in the1890’s - they're not just for seaside towns.  They have been reintroduced recently in cities like Manchester as a greener way of travelling.  They also reduce traffic coming into our city centres.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteer crews are funded entirely by voluntary donations and provide a 24-hour service around the coast of the UK and Republic of Ireland.  They have saved 136,000 lives since 1824.

17% of all UK holidays are taken in a caravan.

The Midland Grand opened in 1933 and was the first Art Deco hotel in Britain.  It was designed by Britains premier Art Deco architect, Oliver Hill, and with sculptures and interior decor by Eric Gill and Marian Dorn. The hotel was recently bought and there are plans to rebuild and refurbish the rundown hotel.

Charter trips are a popular solution.  These are when groups of friends or tourists hire a fishing boat for a day and go out fishing with the fishermen for fun.
