Hadrians Wall
 

For those of you travelling to Northumberland this year, you are going to have a superb holiday. Being a native I can recommend Corbridge, Hexham and Haltwhistle -the Tourist Information Office should have lists of all the B&B's in the area to suit all pockets. Dont just stay on the wall - Holy Island is beautiful and the beachs up the east coast are some of the best in the country. Try Berwick on the borders - lots of things to do in the area for adults and children. If you have any other questions I'll gladly answer.

Thanks Kittkatt, I will take you up on that if you don't mind. I have Frommer's & Lonely Planet guidebooks, but first hand knowledge is THE BEST! You made my terrible dieting day, MUCH BETTER. :-)

I totally agree, and would also like to recommend driving to Craster, having a walk along the coast around the castle and back and then into the Jolly Fisherman pub for tomato and basil soup and crab sandwiches washed down with a pint of beer.

Mmmm, tomato and basil soup, yummm,,,,crab sandwiches too? Sounds like lunch to me! Thanks for info. italyfan, can I e-mail you too?

Yes no prob at [email protected]. Best soup I ever had!!
