I used to horse ride a bit south of there in Cotherton near Barnard Castle. Lovely region.
 
Are you also going to Craster, Alnmouth, Low Newton etc. Some lovely coastal spots up there.
I had the great fortune to live in Warkworth for a couple of years. Played cricket for Alnwick and Sunday friendlies for Bamburgh Castle CC. (the cricket field is right next to the castle)

I also really enjoyed living up north. Good folk too.
 
This morning we took the 6:56 train from Frankfurt to Strasbourg. This early departure was about half the price of departures at more civilized times. It was a comfortable trip of just under two hours,with reasonable leg room.

Our hotel luckily had a room ready for us, with a considerably better view than in Frankfurt. I was delighted to see a car park, even though it was only small and partially obscured.
