Where will I visit?

There are cultural visits to Edinburgh, York, Bamburgh Castle, Warkworth Castle, Hadrian’s Wall and the World Heritage site of Durham Castle and Cathedral. Go back in time at Beamish open air museum and visit the breathtaking Farne Islands to see amazing bird life and seals and sea lions.
