New old castle
4 de dezembro de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌧 6 °C
This morning started in the most devastating way possible, we opened the curtains to see all of our beautiful snow gone and replaced by rain. We consoled ourselves with a hot drink in bed, and then braved the rain to get to the car so that we could head into the centre of Newcastle.

While there we sent some more of our less used clothes back to Aus to regain some space in our backpacks.

A short walk away was the aptly named Newcastle castle. An old castle from 1177 which was built by Henry II. Originally there was an older motte and bailey style castle. But it was demolished to build the new castle!

Unfortunately we didn't have the time to explore the inside of the castle, so we had to make do with walking around the outside of it. It was impressively tall, and had a cool fortified gatehouse nearby called the Black Gate. Good stuff!

We were then in need of a coffee, so we did the unthinkable and stopped at Gregg's and paid full price for some coffees! Fortunately they were nice and didn't let us down. We'll continue shopping there in the future.

After this we fought pass all the people to get back to the car and made our way to our dinner date with Ros, Mark and of course Bailey! We had a great time, it was lovely to be able to sit and chat and even better because there was a delicious dinner involved!!

Eventually the night wrapped up and we braved the elements one last time to get back to the hotel, where we ended the night getting a few more steps in before going to bed.

Alnwick Beef Wellington
3 de dezembro de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ -1 °C
After our buffet breakfast we scrapped off the snow from Bartholomew || and headed to The Alnwick Garden. The gardens had an expansive network of formal gardens with a cascading central fountain - all if which was covered in snow. But the main reason for the visit was the Poison Garden!

Though small, UK's deadliest Garden is filled exclusively with around 100 toxic, intoxicating, and narcotic plants. The boundaries of the Poison Garden are kept behind black iron gates, only open on guided tours where we learnt about different plants and the effects they have on humans.

We then frolicked in the snow and made a snowman named Ralph.

As we left we decided to detour and check out Edlingham Castle, 14th-century riverside ruins of a fortified manor house. This was STUNNING we had the ruins to ourselves, and they were covered in snow. After climbing places that told us not to and a few more snowball fights we headed to Greggs to pick up another mystery bag!

The bag was again full of goodies and more than enough for dinner. A bargain for the £3.5 we paid for it!

The night ended with us getting our steps up by walking around the hotel for a while, and then watching Gordon Ramsay yell at poor restaurant owners.

We are sad as the weather forecast is for rain for the next week, as opposed to snow. So today will likely be the end of our winter wonderland for at least a little while.

Aviemore-Newcastle Fähre
6 de junho de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Heute hieß es abschied nehmen von unserem geliebten Schottland, morgens um 9 Uhr war Abfahrt Richtung Newcastle. Also klingelte früh der Wecker um den Rest einzupacken und Frühstücken zu gehen. Sehr pünktlich fuhren wir los, selten eine so disziplinierte Reisegruppe erlebt. Bis auf einmal schafften wir es immer zur ausgemachten Zeit loszufahren, respekt.
Der erste Abschnitt der Fahrt war recht unspektakulär, durch die Highlands nach Edinburgh, wo wir um die Mittagszeit ankamen und wieder in Bridgewater rast machten. Dieses mal mit etwas mehr Zeit, sodass wir in den Ort gehen konnten um uns ein bisschen umzusehen, was sich als Reinfall herausstellte. Alles zu und keine Geschäfte die interessant waren. Wieder im Bus wurden die restlichen offenen Flaschen gekillt, was sich aber als recht wenig herausstellte.
Nach der Grenze machten wir noch einen kurzen Fotostopp am Bamberg Castle, bevor es auf die letzte Etappe in Great Britan ging. Am Fährhafen dauerte es dann gefühlt ewig bis wir endlich aus dem Bus durften um einzuchecken und auf die Fähre zu gehen. Wie immer wenn wir die Kabinen bezogen hatten, trafen wir uns kurz danach auf dem Sonnendeck zum Auslaufen und zum Umtrunk mit den restlichen Gestalten unserer Gruppe. Nach unserer feucht frohlichen Runde gingen wir gemeinsam zum Abendessen, welches wieder sehr lecker und reichlich war.
Danach löste sich die Gruppe sehr schnell auf, da die meisten doch etwas Müde und Satt waren, so verkrümelten wir uns sehr früh in die Kabine und waren auch bald im Reich der Träume.Leia mais

Whitley Bay
22 de outubro de 2022, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Whitley Bay is a seaside town in the county of Tyne and Wear, located around 10 miles east of Newcastle; it now includes the former village of Monkseaton. The decline of local coal mining and dependent industries prompted Whitley to develop as a seaside holiday resort and this was aided by the opening of the North Tyne Loop railway line in 1882 and, from 1980 onwards, the development of the present Metro system.

We walk along the promenade (aka The Links, a former 9-hole golf course) and enjoy a nice view of St Mary's Lighthouse in the distance; we take in the skateboard park, beach and War Memorial before heading back to the Spanish City; originally a permanent seaside fairground, this is now a fancy venue in a historic building with eateries and bar.

For refreshment, we visit The Dog and Rabbit Micro Brewery, converted from a women's clothing shop, and then walk to Monkseaton to The Left Luggage Room, a specialist craft beer pub sited the former Parcel and Left Luggage Room at the station there.Leia mais

Tynemouth
22 de outubro de 2022, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Tynemouth is a coastal town in the county of Tyne and Wear located around 8 miles east of Newcastle, and part of its metropolitan borough of North Tyneside. It is situated on the north side of the mouth of the River Tyne (hence its name) and the headland here has been settled since the Iron Age; the Romans may have occupied it as a signal station and in the 7th century a monastery was built in Tynemouth and later fortified.

We start at the popular weekend market at Tynemouth as it is located inside the Metro Station; lots of LPs for sale and well worth a visit. We walk into town passing the King's Priory School; at the top of the High Street on the outskirts of a small park is the Queen Victoria Statue and at the other end is the distinctive clock tower and drinking fountain - there is a good view of the Promenade and Long Sands Beach from here.

We are very close to Tynemouth Castle and Priory; the moated castle-towers, gatehouse and keep are combined with the ruins of the Benedictine priory where early kings of Northumbria were buried. Now managed by English Heritage, it is very beautiful. We walk towards the Tyne and see the Tynemouth Piers; there are actually two constructions - North and South - that have protected the mouth of the River Tyne from the ravages of the North Sea since Victorian times; before their construction, it was impossible for shipping to leave the river when an easterly gale blew.

A little further along is the Collingwood Monument; Lord Collingwood is sometimes referred to as the forgotten hero of Trafalgar as he was second-in-command to Admiral Lord Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar. He assumed command of the British fleet after the death of Lord Nelson, transferring to HMS Euryalus, and then led the fleet and completed the battle plans that he and Nelson had created together. The four cannons are from Collingwood's flagship, the HMS Royal Sovereign, during the Battle of Trafalgar.

This area is definitely worth a second visit to explore it more thoroughly!Leia mais
