| Northumberland |
 |
 |
22nd April 6 days Half Board £349
23rd September 6 days Half Board £415 |
| The Northern parts of Northumberland are the most attractive in the region. This is particularly
true of the area around Bamburgh, with its magnifi cent castle the home of the Armstrong
family, and the attractive nearby fi shing port of Seahouses. From here you can sail to the Farne
Isles, home of Grace Darling for her short life. There is also Holy Island and the Priory, the cradle
of Christianity in the area, as well as the pretty walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. For this is
the border country, where England meets Scotland; it's the battlefi eld of Flodden, and it's lots,
lots, more. The list of possible visits just goes on and on |
Day 1
We travel north via the motorway stopping for
coffee en-route, and on to Hexham for you to
fi nd some lunch. Afterwards we join the A1 and
head north again arriving at the Victoria around
3.30pm. We settle in with enough time for a
stroll around the village.
Day 2
A coastal drive. We start by going south to
Alnmouth and follow the coast via Embleton
to Craster famous for its kippers, only buy the
vacuum packed ones if you want to take some
home. After lunch we travel on to our fi nal
stop at Seahouses with fi ne views on the Farne
Islands & Bamburgh Castle.
Day 3
Morning visit to Bamburgh castle included in
tour price, the rest of the day you are free to do
your own thing. Should you wish to go to The
Farne Islands the coach will take you to Billy
Shiels OBE, the best boat company in Seahouses.
The sail is a great experience costing about
#12, afterwards you can get the bus back to
Bamburgh, Those not wishing to sail can visit the
Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh.

Day 4
One of the highlights of the tour. Across the
causeway (by coach) to Holy Island where you
can visit St Aidens Monastery and try the local
mead before we leave the island. We have our
lunch on board with super views of the coast.
From here we travel on to Berwick on Tweed, a
town that has been in and out of Scotland many
time over the years. In England at present, but not
long if us 'Jocks' get our way. Oh by the way when
we 'Jocks' had the toon we had a 'Mint' here.
Day 5
A hearty Northumbria Breakfast at 8am before
we set off about 9.15 and today we are going to
Alnwick to visit the world famous Alnwick Garden.
Admission included, but should you wish to visit
the castle there is an extra charge to pay. We then
take you into town for lunch on board, afterwards
you have some free time in the town. While you
are in town look out for Ye Old Cross Inn, send a
picture of your visit with the story of what you
fi nd and you could win a prize.
Day 6
Sadly this is our last breakfast , don't forget to
nip to the butchers next door for your Bamburgh
Bangers 'an yer' Haggis. We head south via the A1
then cross country to Barnard Castle for a lunch
stop, then onward to the M6 at Tebay. |
