I keep banging on about this,
but I went to Warkworth, near Alnwick in April for a week. Best place I've stayed in the UK. It's equal to Cumbria in terms of beauty but is far less overrun with tourists. As the guy who owned Chillingham Castle said when asked if he wantd to make Northumbria as popular as Combria or Yorkshire, 'As beloved, yes. As popular, No, please, never'.

So yeah, i'd agree with Northumbria and Cumbria.

Nice.
This is making me want to go back quite badly. It's fucking lovely up there.

I went to a wedding there.
Got utterly trousered on free champagne and smashed my nose on the way home.

Northumberland has an extensive but threatened red population.
There's a huge grey culling operation going on, which I worked on the grant for.

Northumberland, sometimes referred to as England's best kept secret.
This may explain why our economy's fucked, hardly anyone visits.

Best beaches I have been to in the UK are in Northumberland.

I'd have to agree. I'm only a ten minute drive away, too!

Found a great pub in Seahouses that did the best chips ever, cooked in beef dripping.

Northumberland's got Newcastle in it, doesn't it?
That's why I avoid it.
( Kroney, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 14:35, Reply)

Tyne and Wear has Newcastle in it
not Northumberland

Technically, no. Tyne & Wear is a seperate district.
And Newcastle's a nice city if you avoid the bigg market after 7pm.

You could have said it is in Lancashire
and I'd only be about 30% sure you were wrong.
( Kroney, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 14:45, Reply)

Based on my limited experience, Newcastle is nicer than Durham precisely because you can at least get away from Bigg Market, whereas Durham is so small that come Friday and Saturday night, the drunken bareley dressed vomitting and fighting locals are unavoidable.

You have a point.
Durham is pretty, though.

Very, yes.
It was lovely during the day, just no good for a tee totaller in the evening.

Stay off the golf course, and you'll be just fine, old bean.
