I did a road trip of the A1 from start to finish in September last year. One place you must visit in Northumberland is the National Trust Estate called "Cragside." It's probably one of the most picturesque places on their property portfolio.
@@BellaDiaryYeah it was a phenomenal road trip from London to Edinburgh. Road trips are something I do a lot. Nothing like the freedom of exploring amazing sights in your car. Northumberland was amazing when I visited it. Another thing you and your partner should do is drive up to Kielder Forest/Kielder Water and follow the A68 into Scotland. Kielder Water is the UK's largest Lake by volume of water. You will get a very mountainous and picturesque view of the border between England and Scotland. By following the A68, you can also visit the Kielder Forest Park, Northumberland National Park and a waterfall called Linhope Spout Waterfall. Also when you next pass Lindisfarne, stop in the fish and chip shop on the road that leads to the Lindisfarne Causeway, before you get to the Causeway itself. It's called "Barn at Beal." From the viewpoint of the restaurant, you can see the tide go in and out so you don't get stuck in traffic waiting for the tide to go out. Oh and if you ever do an A1 start to finish road trip, the Forth Bridge is a great place to take a photo just a few miles after the end of the A1, if you want a scenic picture of yourselves and the car as a memory to show you completed it.
Ahhhh you’ll have the best time when you visit again! I have to say it’s one of my favourite parts of the country. Just gorgeous - and so friendly too!
I really like your videos! We have been searching for ages for travel vlogs that are actually about the areas and not about the people doint the videos! Really lovely and helpful when we come to plan our own trips!
Yayyyyy!! I’m so glad, I always try and include as much info as I can (or as I remember) so you can plan your own trip! Thank you so much for watching - and for your lovely comment! :) xxx
Nice video, you packed a lot into your visit, and hit a good selection of the highlights, shame the trip to the Farnes wasn’t sailing I think it’s magical there.
I was there just in February. Northumberland is my teen home and the most beautiful place to live. Did you visit Berwick on Tweed, the fortified town a mile from the Scottish border? You must have gone through it on your way up to St Abbs or down to Lindisfarne
Jeannette Sheehy do you know I don’t remember if we visited Berwick on Tweed! I don’t think we did!!! St Abbs is the one one I remember visiting and it sounds like we missed out! I’ll have to come back one day and visit! We just did Alnwick and Alnmouth the day before and then straight to st abbs!! I do agree - it’s certainly beautiful x
@@BellaDiary The A1 which you would have been travelling on bypasses Berwick, so you need to come off to go into town. The towns Elizabethan bastion walls are some of the best preserved in Europe and only example in Britain, well worth a visit.
St Abba is great but you didn't make it clear that its in Scotland and a fair way from bamburgh area. If you're ever up there again, I recommend you look at The Cove at cockburnspath and a walk to fast castle too.
Great video!!! I've always wanted to visit Northumberland! My grandparents were from there and I feel like I owe it to them to visit one day. I also do travel videos if you are interested!
Gali Gal ahhh that must be why we didn’t see any! What a shame this summer we’re in lockdown so won’t be able to :( ahhh well, there’s always next year! Thanks for letting me know! X
Not sure if anyone noticed but unless there has been a big takeover, St Abbs isn't in Northumberland, it's not even in England. This is like having the Top Ten things to see in England and including the Eiffel Tower. Otherwise all good.
Phil Gray oh do you know, you’re completely right! We had actually crossed over the border at this point so it’s in the borders isn’t it! Good spot actually! Thanks for your comment! Don’t know how I missed that hahaha

Wonderful! I was in Newscastle and Cullercoats for only one day last summer. I want to visit again so much!
Ahhhh you’ll have the best time when you visit again! I have to say it’s one of my favourite parts of the country. Just gorgeous - and so friendly too!

Thank you for sharing. My grandmother was from New Castle and spoke of North Umberland. She loved the ocean. Nice to see the sights she may have seen.
Glad you enjoyed it. And that's so wonderful. I think Northumberland is one of the most charming destinations! You shall have to visit at some point x
