The Farne Islands
The islands where there are the Farne Islands (English: Farne Islands) off England, Northumberland (55°38'N 1°38'W). The number of the island is 20 from 15 by the flow and ebb of tides; or no longer. 7.5km is separated from 2.5km from the bank and is divided into two of a group near the bank and the far-off group. Two groups can be apart at the staple straits (Stable Sound). The summit level is 19m above see level of the inner Fern island (Inner Farne).

History
The oldest resident left for the record stops by for monastery activity, and some are connected with Lindisfarne Island soon. I imitated the tradition of the Celts who built the monastery in the remote island in England, Ireland, Scotland.
The first visitor that the name is recorded is Saint Aidan and Saint Cuthbert. Saint Cuthbert lived in the inner Fern island for ascetic practices alone and left the island for two years when I acted as Bishop Lindisfarne, but died in an island for 687 years. Saint Cuthbert introduced a law to protect the nest of the seabirds such as eiderdowns for 676 years, but it is thought that this is the oldest in the world for a law to protect birds.
There is not the permanent resident in the Farne Islands, and the manager of the National trust only stays by a season. It is a lighthouse hut of the Browns Isle of Man (Brownsman) of the far-off group from the old peel tower and land of the inner Fern island who what they assume a house is the nearest the land, and is big. The peel tower was built by Dallam abbot Thomas Castile in about 1500. There is a chapel appointed as a sign of the bethel of Saint Cuthbert 600 years ago. I am restored using the old building materials of the Dallam sanctuary recently.
A lighthouse keeper lived once, but, in the lighthouse of the Farne Islands, is become no person now. The building of the old lighthouse is left, e.g., there are two in the Browns Isle of Man. There were some beacon stands before the lighthouse. There was a white part on the rock face on the land side of the island, and there was the tourist who thought this to be the feces of the bird, but calcium carbonate deposited here aside from other places. Calcium carbide was used for many years at the lighthouse, and the waste was thrown away by a cliff.
Grace Darling
Attractive one of the Farne Islands is a story of Grace Darling and wrecked ship フォーファーシャイア (Forfarshire). Grace Darling was a daughter of lighthouse keeper William Darling of Longus tone island (Longstone), and, on September 7, 1838, she saved nine with father from フォーファーシャイア which ran aground in a her car rock (Harker rock) in strong wind and dark fog at the age of 22 years old. This story attracted big attention in the U.K., and she became a heroine of the folklore.
Natural
Small by ship a large number of people visit the Farne Islands from sea how seeds (Seahouses) in the important habitat of the wild animal in a warm season. It is prohibited from it being admitted that a local ship lets a tourist go ashore for wildlife protection only in inner Fern island, staple island (Staple Island), Longus tone island the landing to other islands. If time is good, much パフィン (puffin) is seen and become popular. In the inner Fern island, arctic tern makes a hideout in near the way which a person walks and may attack a person approaching it (strongly suggested that I put on a hat). It is edible, and a rabbit brought in becomes a wild animal in some islands. Rabbit and パフィン use the same den at separate time and パフィン (attack of the bill) is very strong and sends the rabbit of the den in a season of the nest building. I hang the Farne Islands for celebrity every year as the nest building ground (colony) where approximately 6,000 ハイイロアザラシ gathers in November from September, and several hundred children are born.
Geological feature
The Farne Islands are outcrops of igneous rock ドレライト. Originally they were not separated by water with Britain Island, and the people would be the limestone which was vulnerable to comparative erosion. I was separated, and it was in an island as a result that the sea surface rose after erosion of neighboring weak geologic land and the last glacial epoch. A rock of ドレライト cracks and becomes like a pillar. Therefore the topography of the island is steep and becomes the sheer cliff depending on a place, and crush it, and a wave is scattered to a little less than 20m cliff at the circumference of the island. Most of the small island are nude rocks, but there is vegetation by lower clay and surface soil consisting of the peat of the upper air in the big island. Because I am slightly slanted so that stratum goes up towards the south, a cliff of the south side is the highest, and a sandy beach is in the north side.
Diving
The Farne Islands are popular for a point of the scuba diving almost as same as bird watching. There are three reasons popular with divers.
- Hundreds of ships meet with a disaster in the Farne Islands, and many wrecked ships which a diver can look at have been left for many years.
- ハイイロアザラシ which a colony attracts is full of curiosity and may approach an underwater diver. The seal to look at underwater is impressive.
- It is said that I do not stop by, and the direction of the wind can dive in the Farne Islands. There is an evacuation site somewhere anytime. There is the point to be able to enjoy diving and both bird watching and can see the state that sea pigeon catches a fish.
