Northumbria - Countryside, Castles, Coast & Comfort
- Wide-ranging exploration of the natural and man-made beauties of one of the most interesting but least visited regions of England.
- Castles, country houses, villages, towns and cities and, above all, wonderful landscape.
- Includes a number of special arrangements, a private boat for a day and two exhilarating country walks (optional – alternative visits are provided for non-walkers).
- Good hotels: Jesmond Dene House in Newcastle and Waren Mill outside Bamburgh.
DETAILS
PRICES
£2,480 (deposit £250)—this includes:—accommodation as described below—private coach throughout—breakfasts, 2 lunches and 7 dinners with wine, water and coffee—all admission to houses, sites, museums—private boat trip to the Farne Islands—all tips for waiters, drivers and guides—the services of the lecturer—superior room supplement £300 (room rate for 2 sharing)—single supplement £210 or £260 (higher price for a larger room in Newcastle)—members of the National Trust or English Heritage (with cards) will be refunded c. £30.
HOTELS
In Newcastle (5 nights): Jesmond Dene House, a 19th-century mansion in a quiet wooded suburb which opened as a hotel in 2007 and was soon after voted Hotel of the Year in Northern England; stylish, very comfortable, exceptional service, good amenities, garden, excellent restaurant—in Waren Mill (near Bamburgh): Waren House Hotel, a Georgian house in the countryside with 15 rooms; furnished and adorned by the owners in a charmingly quirky way with light, floral bedrooms, sitting room-cum-library and dining room; patio, garden and sea views.
HOW STRENUOUS?
There is quite a lot of walking involved, even without the two optional country walks—coaches can rarely park near the sites and some places visited are extensive—average distance by coach per day: 49 miles. We regret that applications from people aged 81 or over at the time of the tour will not be accepted.
MUSIC TICKETS
If the Brinkburn Festival secures funding for 2011, we will try and include a concert.
SMALL GROUP
Between 12 and 22 participants.
