We were in Newcastle and Durham a few years ago. We really enjoyed walking along River Wear. When we did that it felt like we walked inside a dramatic painting. On that trip we also visited Berwick-upon-Tweed. That was an interesting place to visit. If you come to the region again we can recommend a visit there. /Ake

Wow, small world! I completely understand the feeling of walking in a painting when walking along the River Wear, good comparison! I actually spent a short time in Berwick-upon-Tweed, which I will write up on in my next one. I'm looking forward to reading about your trip around southern Sweden - looks like you are also staycationing this summer ?
