Hello all!
I am new to these forums and wanted to try to get some feedback from the more experienced and knowledgeable folks here.
My wife and I will be flying to EDI from ATL on 5/22/19 and staying in the Brunstfield neighborhood for 3 nights.
I've arranged a rental car through Celtic Legend for 5/26 and 5/27.
Our plan is to drive along the Northumberland coast taking in Bamburgh Castle and possibly a beach walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle. If time permits that day we would like to see some of the Roman walls before heading to our Airbnb in Hexham for the night.
Does this sound feasible?
The next night we have a room booked in York.
I have been researching a few different routes and cannot decide which to take.
We will be leaving Hexham at around ~1100 and have to return the car in York at 1715 that evening.
We are interested in natural beauty, history, castles and ruins and countryside.
Would a route taking us through Yorkshire Dales/North Pennines (Hardraw Force as a stop? Middleham Castle?) be a good choice?
Another idea I've had is Durham to North York Moors (Rievaulx Abbey, and through Howardian Hills AONB?)
Would we have enough time to make either of these journeys?
I appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Thank you in advance!
Cam
