nice back lane traverses from the Hall to Middleton bank foot

Quiet back lane to Capheaton Cafe

Classic Northumberland road climb, even if it does have a descent in it. Ramp near the start in Elsdon is the hardest bit. Get lucky with a tailwind and fly down eastwards past Harwood Forest

Super quiet lane from Bolam towards Capheaton. Couple of gates to pass

Recently resurfaced which was good as it was poor. Lots of very minor side road options

Classic Northumberland cycling cafe. Tasty food reasonably priced, top cake

Absolutely stunning! Alnwick Castle is one of those rare places that feels both grand and welcoming. The architecture is jaw-dropping, and the setting over the River Aln is gorgeous. The staff are friendly, and the guided tours add a lot of colour to the history — from medieval battles, to its military museum, to its modern fame as “Hogwarts” in the Harry Potter films. The state rooms are also beautifully preserved and reek of state level opulence. It can get busy and the tickets aren’t cheap, we paid £19 for being in the 60+ dementia category, down from £22 for normal adults, but it’s worth every penny for the experience. Don’t skip a walk through the nearby gardens (closed for us today because of winds)or a look over the castle walls — the views of Alnwick town are fantastic.
