| Northern Marsh Orchid on Holy Island |
Our week in Northumberland is over but we’ll be
back. Fine scenery, majestic hills, a coastline with long sandy beaches and
enough history to satisfy anyone. Vast skies and distant horizons which fade into a blue-grey haze as horizons are supposed to. Living in towns and cities, do we even see the horizon on a regular basis?
Northumberland is quiet too, and that’s what always strikes us as we head back down the
A1 to traffic jams, crowds, queues and the intensely compressed nature of modern life.
Northumberland leaves one with the impression that life could be different. There are too many people in the UK.

Welcome back, and Amen.
Have been thinking of going there.
Sam - thanks. We have a similar feeling when returning from France.
Sackers - well worth it. We usually stay in the Bamburgh area.
Years ago a friend had a caravan at Waren Caravan Park by Bamburgh and we went there quite often. It was great. We would love to go back, but since moving it has become a long drive.
Demetrius - we were within a short walk of the Waren Caravan Park. A handy location for exploring the area.
Just looking at part of my Northumbrian past - Kielder Forest. And there you were in the general area.
James - yes we were near Bamburgh. We are more familiar with coastal areas than inland, but hope to explore the Cheviots next year.
