Day 07 – Warkworth

Well another sunny day and a great day for a walk around York, so off into the morning air we go heading for the Minster. It is a short stroll to get there and the minster is still undergoing it’s restorations, after a lap around the minster we head into the twisting streets for a quick explore before heading to the Mickelgate entrance to the wall. York is one of the only towns left where you can still walk around the complete walls of the city. The height of the walls gives great views over the city and is really easy strolling.
With York covered it is off to Gothland, or should I say Aidensfield, yes it is up on the Yorkshire moors to take a look at where the filming of the tv show Heartbeat was filmed, as expected it has become very touristy. Next stop Whitby for a look at the Abbey and the harbor, followed by a nice drive to Gateshead to see the Angel of the North, by the time we get to Gateshead it is late in the afternoon, but there is just enough light to take some photos.
Next stop is Warkworth, castles, rolling Northumberland countryside, but that’s for tomorrow.
