Week break in Northumberland

You must go to kielder observatory

If you time it right they do events on an evening where they do a bit of a talk and then demonstrate their two telescopes. I was gutted when I went up, it was too windy

Just googled this!!! WOW!!! What a view and so many stunning shots.

Yup. Base yourself at Harthope Valley and you really can't go wrong. Shame you're not here in the winter - can get wild up there!

Was up last winter and even though the snow was 'light' it was still a good 3 foot. I've still got a couple of pics somewhere from about 5 years ago where a 2 story farmhouse was buried up to its roof.

Make sure you go to Coldingham bay and walk along the little coastal path up to St Abbs, some nice photo ops there

FYI - Beach at Bamburgh will be closed this weekend. They're doing some kind of filming on it, with moving vehicles and low flying drones.

Go to dunstanburgh for sunrise

Isn't it a public beach? how can they close it?

Cragside near Rothbury, the first house in the UK to be electrically lit. You'll get some nice snaps down by the river in Rothbury too. If you have time try to squeeze in a visit to the Kielder Observatory. You'll get some good shots over the reservoir too.

Cragside is the most amazing place. We went last time we visited and found it to be stunning.

Well that's the thing. Surely it's owned by the Crown...

They were filming the next Transformers movie. Curious how the trip went.
