We did the same journey with two GS (3 & 7) last summer. We stopped off at Fountains Abbey en route.

Thank you Tegan. We are going in June. We have been researching places in the area to go and watching the Robson Green programme and taking notes. I will pm you nearer the time, that's very kind of you.

I'll ask the S.O. We travel there a lot cause he has a flat up there and it only takes about 3 1/4 hours from Nottingham, and we tend to get off the motorway and get onto the A1. Must warn you that there is a lot of work being done round Newcastle so expect delays there. If you pm me with more details of when you're going and whereabouts you're staying we can do a long list of places to visit, depending on your interests.

We will be travelling to Northumberland in the summer (thanks to Robson Green!). As it is a long journey from the West Midlands and we have never travelled that far before, we would like to stop for a couple of hours, probably for lunch, somewhere mid-way but are unsure where. Has anyone any ideas?
