Looking at having a road trip up north around North Yorkshire / Northumberland and looking for any ideas of nice, scenic, relaxing places to visit. It's an area we've not explored before so all info gratefully received 
Thanks |

If you like the thought of Alnwick head out to Rothbury take a look at Cragside then take back road over moors into top end of Alnwick it is a scenic drive, like people say the Coastal route up the coast takes in a lot of sites... Don't forget Hadrian's Wall is out west tooo... lots to see and do in Northumberlad..enjoy

If you were spending a few days I would head north from you to Leeming, then head west and drive round Wensleydale and Swaledale. There are lovely villages all round Leyburn, then head to Hawes, Tan Hill, Muker, Reeth and to Richmond. I would then head up Teesdale, past Barnard Castle, then there are several nice ways you can work your way up to the A69 in Northumberland by Haydon Bridge or Hexham. Once there head up the A68 and work your way round to the places mentioned earlier, like Rothbury and Alnwick. If you've got time you might want to keep going and head up to Holy Island. Then I would do the exact route in reverse to see the same countryside from a different perspective. It's worth it.
Bon voyage! |
