Walk up the valley of the Rookhope Burn from Eastgate<\/a>. The walk didn’t get off to good start since the intended car park had been taken over by the village beer festival! (Top) a pleasant section of the burn, slightly spoilt by pestering mayflies<\/a>. The remains of an old tractor, apparently abandoned in the middle of a field. But it may be linked with the ruined dwelling of “Bog House” a few metres away. (Bottom) Expansive view up the valley towards Rookhope<\/a>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The small, but well formed, Heugh Battery Museum<\/a>, Hartlepool, styles itself as the only World War I battlefield museum in the UK, as a key focus is the bombardment of Hartlepool<\/a> by the German navy on 16 Dec 1914. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The extremely quirky Chillingham Castle<\/a> has been rescued from decay by its correspondingly eccentric owner, Sir Humphry Wakefield<\/a>. Tasteful and minimalist it is not! The gardens (below) are a welcome relief from the sensory overload of the interior!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Common Road, leading west out of Wooler into the Cheviot Hills. We had picked a roasting hot weekend for a return trip to Wooler<\/a> in Northumberland. The landscape was rather unforgiving, and we turned round after a few miles to avoid sunstroke!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Lindisfarne<\/a> on the return journey, the weather was misty, but this was a welcome break from the heat. (L) St. Cuthbert’s island can be reached from the island for a couple of hours at low tide. Reputedly Cuthbert<\/a> first withdrew to live here, but was too often disturbed by the monks at Lindisfarne abbey, and so left to settle on Inner Farne<\/a>. (R) The distinctive shape of Lindisfarne Castle<\/a>, firmly set on the final outcrop of the Great Whin Sill<\/a> before it heads into the sea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,10],"tags":[26,59,52,32,28,49],"class_list":["post-11866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-places","category-uk","tag-castle","tag-county-durham","tag-military","tag-moor","tag-northumberland","tag-river"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11866\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ph-images.webspace.durham.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
