Making the most of the emerging sunshine, we ventured an hour’s drive to Helmsley in North Yorkshire to visit its historic castle and medieval fortress.
Attractions
Tynemouth Priory and Castle
On a bright but chilly day, we visited Tynemouth Priory and Castle, a historic site on England’s North East coast.
Belsay Hall
On a rare sunny but cold Autumn Sunday, we head to one on our hit list – Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens in Northumberland.
Rievaulx Abbey
After deciding to use Tesco clubcard vouchers to 3x value on an English Heritage membership – we headed out to Rievaulx Abbey.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge was somewhere I’d wanted to visit for the longest time. So, despite the torrential rain, we decided to pay a visit.
Carisbrooke Castle
In the afternoon, determined to continue extracting value out of our new English Heritage memberships we headed to Carisbrooke Castle in the middle of the Isle of Wight.
Osborne House
Entry to Osborne House gives you access to the full grounds and a section of the ground floor of the house.
Walks with the Wife is an online journal of Coastal and Country Walks in the North East of England.
Accompanied by my wife, we set out to tackle the scenic yet challenging routes in a bid to boost health and happiness whilst fully exploring the area we’ve decided to make our home.
