It was fun to rediscover the North of England and Northumberland, while filming my recent Globe Trekker North East England shoot. (Particularly special since I spent my school years in Newcastle). Here’s the best of the castles, views, food and fun photos from around England.

 

The train from London to the North is always a fun one

Train 1

Back in Newcastle! The Tyne Bridge.

I wonder if this will keep me full ’til lunch? Savoring a Ham & Pease Pudding Stottie in Newcastle.

Ok Ok, there are healthier options in Newcastle you know……Pork Pies and Scones!

After all that partying, some fresh northern coastal air is just what one needs…

Driving up to Northumberland, I stop in the charming town of Alnwick for tea and a bite…and of course a visit to Alnwick Castle (where Harry Potter was filmed, btw!)

‘Grannies’ is the place for a spot of tea and some northern delights

From one castle to another…the majestic Bamburgh Castle…with the most amazing Beach location. Prime real estate here!

Woo hoo! I love the beach at Bamburgh. One of my favorites…

Now to the more eerie Chillingham Castle….

How do I get myself into these situations? Oh Jude….

Chillingham2

I’m sensing a running theme at every castle…..torture!

Chillingham5

After all that, I need a nice soup to warm me cockles…. The Tea Room at Chillingham Castle is very atmospheric, full of odds and ends, and a fantastic roaring fire. My favorite part of the castle. (And great cakes too!)

Santa, please can I have a driveway like this leading up to my castle?

On to the the next castle, Lindisfarne and the beautiful Holy Island, with a recorded history from the 6th Century. It is said to have been the centre of Christianity.

Beware of the tides when crossing the causeway to Lindisfarne. Make sure to get tidal times if you don’t want to be left stranded!

While you are up in these parts, if you love birds and wildlife, take a boat trip to The Farne Islands, home to an incredible arrray of birdlife and puffins.

Our Travel shoot up north also took me to the luscious Yorkshire Dales and the quaint town of York..

Dales2

If you come to Yorkshire, you must stay at the rustic yet luxurious and sustainable hand crafted timber shacks, Yurts and log cabins at Bivouac.

Pub grub….delicious on a cold winters day up in the Dales. Homemade Shepherds Pie, just what I need.

York is actually a city known for their chocolate as well as their cathedral. So, I start with finding the biggest Kit Kat in the world. No, seriously it is.

Chocolate with the best British Flavors. Eton Mess chocolate…amazing!

A stop in Sheffield to the Forge Marsters, where they specialize in the production of Steel Forgings. Dressing the part…

Traveling around England, the landscapes are breathtaking. I love the bright yellow Rape Seed Fields. And yes, they will make you sneeze.

Enjoy your trip up North! Just a note, you may find it preferable to travel in the spring or summer, when temperatures are a tad more favorable. But I would say, prepare for everything!

    Hi Just wondering if you were told any other info on the Chillingham castle spanish witch? or would you know how I can find out more about her? like her name ect. I’m interested because my family is from England but I have spanish ancestry on my grandmothers side. The woman looks just like me and all the females on my mothers side have very strong resemblances to her also. Im actually going to use your picture of her as my profile picture on facebook. Its very uncanny.
    Love all your photos.
