Bambrough Castle

Home to the Kings of Northumbria this coastal castle was completely

restored in 1900. It holds collections of china, porcelain, furniture, paintings,

arms and armour. The castle is the home of the Armstrong family, and the

building is all in use which maintains a welcoming lived-in atmosphere. A

Royal Centre by AD547, the rocky outcrop has been occupied since the

prehistoric period.

10

Belsay Hall

Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens are the

creation of the Middleton family, over more

than seven centuries. First came the castle, still

dominated by its massive 14th-century

defensive 'pele tower'. Built as a refuge at

a time of Anglo-Scottish warfare, it was also

designed to impress: it still displays rare traces

of elaborate medieval wall paintings. In more

peaceful times a Jacobean mansion wing was

added: here the family lived until Christmas

Day 1817, when they moved into Belsay Hall.

11

Durham Cathedral

Durham Cathedral has been described as ‘one of the great architectural

experiences of Europe’. It is renowned as a masterpiece of Romanesque (or

Norman) architecture.

12

Gibside

The Gibside Estate, overlooking the River

Derwent about four miles west of Gateshead,

was created by land owner and coal baron

George Bowes between 1729 and 1760. For

whatever reason, the estate was allowed to fall

into disrepair. But now, in the hands of The

National Trust, is currently in the midst of an

extensive renovation programme.

13

The Farne Islands

The Farne Islands are situated between two and five miles off the

Northumberland Coast. There are 28 islands in total, 15 of which can be seen

at high tide, with the largest island being Inner Farne.

Historically the Farne

Islands are associated

with St Aidan and St

Cuthbert, both of whom

used the islands as a

place to mediate in utter

solitude.

The Northumberland heroine, Grace Darling spent most of her short life on

the lighthouses here, first on Brownsman's Island and then on Longstone

Island.

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne In 635AD St. Aidan came from Iona and chose

to found his monastery on Lindisfarne. The Christian message flourished

here and spread

throughout the Word

Holy Island is linked to

the mainland by a long

causeway. Twice each

day the tide from the

North Sea covers the

road. Tide times and

heights can be

accurately predicted

from the phases of the

Moon and this is used to

14

predict 'safe' crossing times.

Nevertheless, travellers should

remain vigilant if crossing.

15

Marsden Rock

One of the most magnificent rock formations in Britain, Marsden Rock is

renowned for it's sea bird colonies, with thousands of pairs of Kittiwakes,

Fulmars, Gulls and Cormorants. The rock was a famous arch, created by the

force of the sea, but it changed forever when the arch collapsed in 1996.

The ghost of John the Jibber is said to haunt the area, he died a slow death

suspended in a bucket half way down the cliff face, after betraying fellow

smugglers to the Customs men.

16

Newcastle

Newcastle's most instantly

recognisable structure is the Tyne

Bridge. It was opened by King

George V on 10th October 1928.

Movietone News recorded his

speech for one of their first talkies,

local schoolchildren were given a

day off, and in the days after its

opening unprecedented traffic

jams were caused by those wishing

to use this toll-free crossing. The

jams continue to the present day.

Linking Gateshead

with Newcastle via

Gateshead Quays

(described as one of

the best places in

Europe by Tony Blair)

and Newcastle's

Quayside, the bridge

not only serves

a functional purpose

as the River Tyne's

only foot and cycle

bridge, but its grace and engineering attract people from all over the world.

17

Penshaw Monument

Penshaw Monument was built in 1844, it is Sunderland's most prominent

landmark. It dominates the skyline and standing on Penshaw hill it's visible

for miles around. Modelled on the Greek Temple of Theseion, it was in

memory of John George Lambton born 1792, 1st Earl of Durham, otherwise

known as Radical Jack. Public subscription paid for the monument, John and

Benjamin Green of Newcastle were responsible for the design.

18

Souter Lighthouse

Souter Lighthouse overlooks the cliffs of Marsden Bay, high above the rocks

and notorious currents of Whitburn that have wrecked dozens of ships and

claimed the lives of many mariners. The lighthouse started operating in 1871

and was, at the time the most advanced in the world.

The Golub Castle is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved fortresses in Poland.

The castle in Golub-Dobrzyń was built in the beginning of the 14th

century as a defensive fortress. It was many times attacked, destroyed,

rebuilt and finally converted in the Renaissance style as a palace of the

princess Anna Vasa.

The River Drwęca is one of the cleanest Polish rivers and the

A few years ago stony embankments were built along the river in our town. It is a fine place for resting on hot summer days

44

The historical capital of Chełmno

Land, the town of Chełmno sits

beautifully on the nine hills of the Chełmno High Plains. The town‟s

gems include: the chessboard plan of the old town in its original

defence architecture, the Gothic

and Renaissance town hall.

45

There are several eye-catching burgher houses with the superbly

decorated House under the Star…

Toruń is entered on UNESCO‟s World Heritage List on account of

its preserved Mediaeval town plan in the Old Town area, as well as

its several hundred heritage buildings, principally in the Gothic and

Baroque styles ( the Town Hall, churches, the castle of the Teutonic

Knights, tenement houses )

Panorama of Toruń from the opposite bank of the city.

and the fine brick Gothic

house where the

No one can leave Torun without a packet of gingerbread. These spiced

cakes, baked according to recipes dating back to the 15th century,

have a unique taste and aroma. The most famous ones, coated with

chocolate, are in the shape of a heart and have a special name:

„Cathy‟ (Katarzynki).

47

In the Old Town Market there is a 2,6

meter high bronze statue of Copernicus,

on a granite plinth on which is

engraved in Latin: „Nicolaus Copernicus

Thorunensis Terrae motor, Solis

Caelique stator‟ (Nicolaus Copernicus,

born in Toruń, moved the Earth and

stopped the Sun and the Skies).

Artus Hall was the heart

of Toruń‟s patrician

cultural life.
