Coastline and Castles - Driving Tour of Northumberland

This one day tour takes us from Newcastle upon Tyne to the Northumberland Coast and Castles. I will give a panoramic tour of each location giving you the evolving history as well as the current developments. On route to the coastline, you will get to learn the industrial heritage of the North East as well as its links to the growth of Christianity. I will also give a brief walking tour of Alnmouth, Seahouses and Bamburgh describing the perils of the coast as well its artistic and food culture. On route to Alnwick, I will describe the natural environment as well as giving you chance to stop at Chillingham Castle, home of the Wild Cattle of Chillingham. Our final stop is at Alnwick where you will have a choice of visiting the castle or the gardens, home of the Duke of Northumberland.
