Enjoyed a pleasant stay at the Ednam House Hotel. A beautiful Georgian Manor House ideal for weddings and fishing parties!

Started with a tour of the pretty market town of Kelso. Lots of history and the obligatory ruins in the centre.

We discovered the town is internationally known for its salmon fishing in the River Tweed, hence lots of upmarket & ‘outdoorsy’ shops!

Our first stop today was the picturesque Bamburgh Castle. Given its late November it was surprisingly sunny, but oh so very windy and cold!

We had a pleasant walk along the coast behind the castle to marvel at the waves and scenery.

We just back in the Mini and followed the coast road down to Seahouses & Crastor, where the winds and waves made us rethink any more walks and instead we headed in land to Alnwick.

After an enjoyable day on the Northumberland coast, we are having a relaxing evening in the pretty hamlet of Chatton. We are staying at the Percy Arms and plan to have a few drinks next to the open fire.

Driving down to Consett tomorrow for some old friends 25th Wedding Anniversary.
