New Year in Northumberland

Local departure by coach, then on to Chollerford and our hotel for three nights. We enjoy a Buck’s Fizz on arrival to get us in the spirit to celebrate the New Year!

Today we visit the vibrant city of Newcastle. Famous for its industrial heritage, its brown ale, popular nightlife and distinct ‘Geordie’ accent, there’s a lot to do in Newcastle. It began life as a Roman fort on Hadrian’s Wall in 122AD and from there has developed into a cosmopolitan city. Visit one of Newcastle’s many museums and galleries, the Castle, or the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, an unusual structure spanning the River Tyne. Of course there are plenty of shops that are perfect for some shopping in the post-Christmas sales, and many restaurants and pubs to enjoy. We return to the hotel with time to get ready ahead of tonight’s celebrations. Enjoy a fabulous 5 course New Year’s Eve Dinner with drinks reception and count down for midnight!

Happy New Year! Enjoy a leisurely brunch, and relax in the hotel or explore at your own pace.

We depart the hotel this morning and return home, with fond memories of our break and excited for the next year’s adventures.
