Parking for the open day at Shortridge Hall A strip of crop had been removed to make way for parking. Fortunately for drivers the ground was very dry.

Former pill box near Shortridge Hall Apparently it was feared in the Second World War that enemy troops might land on Northumberland's beaches and push inland. This 'beehive' pillbox is located adjacent to a country road about 1km from the sea. Google Streetview shows that until very recently it was covered in vegetation and therefore not visible unless you were looking for it. The new owners of Shortridge Hall have opened it up and added a 'silent soldier' figure on the new fence alongside the road.

Wildflower garden at Shortridge Hall This garden has been completely reimagined in the last few years under new owners, so the flowers are clearly sown to make a wildflower area, rather than being a natural meadow.
