http://northumberlandinnway.blogspot.com/2008/10/day-6-cragside-house-and-gardens.html
Northumberland Inn Way 2008. 94 Miles, 48 Pubs. Day 6 - Cragside House and Gardens. We decided to take another day off walking the route. We had originally thought we would visit Cragside House and Gardens in Rothbury at the end of the walk, but after realising it is closed on Mondays we had to change our plan. Cragside was originally built as a holiday home and later extended to become his main residence. It was the first house to be powered by electricity, generated using water power. After lunch we co...

This was a very quiet section, with only a few grazing sheep to be seen. We skirted above The Dib, a dry limestone valley which drops steeply down to Conistone. We followed Hebden Beck, flow...

Pembrokeshire Coast Path 2007. Day 4 - Trefin to St Davids. Saturday 7th July 2007. 15 miles, 8 hours. It was another bright sunny day, and with less distance to cover it meant that we could take our time and enjoy it to the full. We left our B&B at about 9.45 taking the footpath across the fields to rejoin the coast path at the lower end of Trefin. There were bright clear views back to the North. The path follows a well maintained track along the cliff top, passing Porth Egr and Traeth Llyfn. The Penlle...

Although it had been an interesting two days it was nice to be back to the coast and the sound of gulls and choughs once more. Across the estuary we could see Stack Rock fort and Dale just a short distance beyond. We reached...
