Lots of walking.

I've printed off a dozen different walks to do this afternoon.

Apart from that Barter Books is on the list, as are a couple of castles that the missus knows the names of but I keep forgetting. In truth, I've forgotten where we are staying again - I think you had to tell me last time anyway. In a cottage on a farm outside...Walkworth? Somethng like that. Somewhere on the coast with a Castle...

Mainly I intend to not have to deal with people, so anywhere that they aren't, really.

Any 'Do Not Miss' things I should know about?
I can even cope with ones that do have people around as long as I only have to deal with that once or twice.

Oh yeah, Moaty's storm drain is in Rothbury.

Yep, Warkworth is the village with the castle.
I suspect Bamburgh castle might be one of the places you'd be visiting. Barter Books is great for a rake around in. Cragside house just outside Rothbury is interesting to look around, it was the first house in the UK to be powered by hydro-electricity. Plus you can get nicely lost in the grounds and not see a soul.

I suspect you may have already seen this, but just in case www.visitnorthumberland.com/ The only trouble with Northumberland is it's quite a large county and it can take a while to get around it.

Simonside is a great walk to do as well, the view at the top of the crag is stunning.
