What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Thanks @Bav we’ve never been farther north than Whitby in England, we’re really looking forward to it.

Thanks @Bav we’ve never been farther north than Whitby in England, we’re really looking forward to it.

Presuming that you're into castles and beaches - I hope so, because there's lots of both up there - I recommend a visit to Dunstanburgh Castle. Park in Craster (a historic little fishing village about a 30-minute drive from Beadnell Bay) in Quarry Carpark [W3W ///toasted.supporter.screening]. From there, there's a lovely, gentle walk along the coast on to the Castle.

Close by is Embleton Bay (a beautiful, deserted bay with a sandy beach, ideal for paddling). You can get a good view of the bay from the castle and, if you fancy dropping in, you can either walk from the castle or drive and park on the roadside on Sea Lane [W3W ///plankton.resides.retail].

Other recommendations would be:
Sea Houses
Bamburgh / Bamburgh Castle / Bamburgh Beach
The Alnwick Garden at Alnwick Castle (don't make a dick of yourself like I did - Alnwick is pronounced An-ick)
Wooler (gateway to the Cheviots)
And, of course, Holy Island (aka Lindisfarne)

Enjoy!!
