Will do thanks, and you enjoy your splendid isolation. Quote

Further up, find the ship Inn at Newton by the sea. Obviously its closed at the moment, but its quite a place; you have to park up in the village and have a mooch along the beach to it. Lots of character. Further down, a great walk from Embleton to Craster. Along beaches or through fields. Go past Dunstanburgh Castle ruin. The jolly fisherman (I think) opposite the smoke House in Craster does good food (crab soup is top stuff). Rothbury is a lovely area, with Cragside gardens if that floats your boat. Other national trust places too. Great walking country. Bamburgh Castle is impressive, but for fucks sake, dont take any pictures inside! Doddington dairy does a some great local cheese, and is available in the area. Wooler also a good base for walking (great butchers too), but there is so much space, its easy to get away from the crowds. Rivers give fishing opportunities too. That's brilliant thanks very much, exactly what i was looking for, when this is over I'll get out and report back Quote

Not particularly touristy but a good base for exploring. Right on the sea, good beach with some rocky areas. Ale House, and local fisherman, who supplied us with a sea trout and two bass, freshly caught, for a tenner. Probably worth around £50+; was lovely and so much even the dogs got some. If you're into rock pools, there are thousands of them in the area- once got a video of two crabs having a right go at each other, big buggers too, lad was fascinated. Quote

mickbrown Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 I can't be arsed reading back to see if another pedant has picked up on this, but staycations are when you don't leave the house. Going to Cornwall is still a holiday Quote
