| The Rothbury Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Northumberland | Visited | 24th Feb 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | The Rothbury Font/Anglo Saxon Cross & Other Fragments: We started off in Rothbury, parking on Haw Hill, just outside the church. We intended to go for a cup of tea, but the town was inundated with tourists and bikers, so we went straight to the church to find the font. I’d forgotten how glorious t... Read More |

| Camp Hill (Catcherside) | Hillfort | England | Northumberland | Visited | 24th Feb 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Camp Hill Hillfort, Catcherside, Knowesgate: We drove up to Catcherside, which was very obviously a very well looked after cluster of farmhouses with a common courtyard between. As Andrew was looking for somewhere to park, a man walked out of Catcherside Cottage so I leapt out of the car and asked ... Read More |
