OUR ITINERARY
MONDAY – We will collect you from your home address, bringing you to meet your tour coach as it makes its way to Northumbria, making suitable comfort stops on route.
TUESDAY – This morning we head for the coast and South Shields, home of the late Catherine Cookson, continuing past Marsden Bay, Whitburn and Seaburn before turning inland across to the ancient and historic City of Durham, acclaimed as a World Heritage Site and dominated by the magnificent Norman Cathedral and Castle, high above the River Wear. Late afternoon we return to Newcastle.
WEDNESDAY – Today we take the road north, past Blyth and Ashington, to Amble, Warkworth and historic Alnwick. We have time to look round the town, with its mighty castle, and obtain lunch before returning south to Morpeth for a short break before making our way back to the hotel.
THURSDAY – A free day for you to explore and enjoy Newcastle. Just a short walk along the quayside from your hotel is the Millennium ‘Winking Eye’ bridge and Newcastle’s famous quayside. Enjoy a riverside stroll before maybe enjoying lunch in a quayside pub, or take a walk into the city centre for lunch and some retail therapy on Eldon Square shopping centre.
FRIDAY – This morning we have a final breakfast in our hotel before we board our coach and begin our journey home.
