Favourite thing to do in Northumberland
Walking my four dogs on Bamburgh Beach. With views to the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle towering above the dunes, it’s just fab!

The Northumbrian accent! As a Lancastrian lad, I fell in love with the North East tones through holidays in Northumberland from an early age.

Favourite thing about Northumberland
Without a doubt the walks. I'm all about 'let's get ready to ramble' and Northumberland offers the perfect setting to embark on an adventure. Walking up to the mythical Drake Stone and marvelling at the views is magical.

Favourite Northumbrian Pastime
I'm a serial café -goer and love nothing more than a warming coffee after a windy walk, so my favourite pastime would have to be a walk along the stunning coastline between Seahouses and Bamburgh followed by a drink in one of Bamburgh's cosy cafés.

Favourite place in Northumberland
I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie so love visiting our haunted castles accross Northumberland and scaring myself silly! Chillingham Castle is definitely one of my favourite ghostly spots.
