Is where my dads side of my family come from there, originally Lowick close to the place that is Coldstream (forgot if its a town or village) actually is where the Coldstream Guards get their name is right on the Scottish border, though Lowick's a little south of there. On the eastern side at least is pretty much the border that is, follows the river Tweed as with Berwick has that in its name Berwick on Tweed.

Lindisfarne was where (way back in the mid 600sAD) the Anglian Noble Wilfrid (St Wilfrid now) was educated, became the Arch Bishop of Northumbria (the Anglian Kingdom of Northumbria) who essentially founded Ripon, back then was named Inhrypum. The general area is where the last and former lone Hornblower (after the establishment of the Ripon City Council demanded by James VI and I, prior was called the Wakeman, an early form of law enforcement) in Ripon is from, now is done on a rota of about a max of 5 of them, since they needed to arrange cover if they weren't able to do that, probably the oldest tradition in Europe going back to the late 800's at least (when Alfred the Great was the Monarch of West Saxon (what's now London), namely Wessex. He being George Pickles so has his name on the plague on the Obelisk in Ripon, he's from that general area. In spite of the change of the script they're told to say about its history, its highly unlikely Alfred ever came to Ripon and gave them a horn (which the one back then still exists its just in-cased in velvet) When the late Paul Schoefield one of the rota hornblowers kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl7RdmNteMxma7c died I think before 2015 though, is really funny that video.

My home county Newcastle, the place of my birth is in Northumberland I ignore the Tyne / Wear Metropolitan Council nonsense, the city is full of history, the home of the Geordie Nation ,the famous Geordie accent and some of if not the friendliest people in the UK. Northumberland has some of best scenery in the UK, its location just under Scotland probably inhibits those from travelling up that far North, Bamburgh has a magnificent beach if a little exposed to the North Sea. The place is littered castle thanks to the regular visits by the vikings and those Scots who occasionally got lost when invading Englsnd.

The video doesn't capture the half of it, excellent beaches, especially at Alnmouth. It has a beautiful inland moorland aspect, grand houses and gardens. Warkworth Castle and Wallington House are exceptional too.

[@stevemarshall5266]

Hi ladies, if you should ever venture to Northumberland, you really must take the boat to the Farne Islands. The place is magical, knowing that you two love the wildlife. It is another world where you leave the human version behind and then you are privileged to be in the world of the Puffins, Terns, Common and Grey Seals and many more sea birds. Summer is best (June/July) when the islands are thronged with baby Terns and seals. It makes you realise that it is THEIR world as well and it is a privilege to be allowed to share it with them for a preciously short time.

[@redf7209]

Its our version of the Galapagos Islands, where the birds have no fear of humans and let you within touching distance.

[@vicibox]

Gosh how could he miss Northumberland? Northumberland is the Cheviots one of the most mountainous counties; so impenetrable that there are no roads through the mountains. Wooler is the capital of the Cheviots right in the middle AND I am a Cheviot girl brought up in Wooler. From this film you would be forgiven for thinking the county is flat because he went round the edge just going to tourist spots. But Northumberland is wild (hence the low population) and is a physical barrier and demilitarised zone between England and Scotland; hence all the castles. Wooler has had the most and worst battles on British soil as the Scottish often raided through the pass of Glendale. How he could visit Bamburgh without mentioning the castle was the capital of the Kings of Northumbria is beyond me. The history goes way back further than that with a lot of neolithic monuments too left by the Picts. Of course worldwide Northumberland is famous for the Cheviot sheep (Wooler is the centre of the sheep trade) and we didnt see any sheep. Still it was great to see what we did but, that wasnt the real Northumberland; gawd we didnt even hear the pipes - giggles

[@mmhdata]

Wooler is lovely, stayed at the Youth Hostel on my way back from the Borders years ago

[@alicemilne1444]

The Border Reivers existed in Northumberland as well. For some reason, they are not as well known as the Reivers who were based on the Scottish side. There was raiding in both directions and peel (or pele) towers and castles exist in abundance in the Border Marches in Scotland as well as as those in England. For some reason people tend only to mention the Scottish Borders nowadays and not the English Borders, but contemporary records from the 1300s to the late 1500s show that the raiding went both ways. Feuds between the Percys and the Douglases, the Eliots and the Grahams, the Bells and the Croziers, the Nixons and the Johnsons. As the records of the 1500s say, people on both sides of the border switched allegiances and nationality whenever it suited them. I do appreciate Northumberland. I've always enjoyed driving through the Cheviots on both sides of the border.

[@tonyanderton3521]

Cheviot Hills, not mountains.

[@vicibox]

@@tonyanderton3521 Technically it is one mountain; the Cheviot. It is an exhumed topography. The Cheviot is the main magma chamber & qualifies as a mountain and the surrounding hills are exposed magma chambers. Its why all the hills are conical.

[@vicibox]

@@alicemilne1444 Well I am biased; Glendale was my home. The Reivers snubbed the noses of both countries and who can blame them with armies trampling through in both directions. As a child the atmosphere of history was tangible. Walking past Low Humbleton I always felt a sense of dread; it was only much later that I discovered the rough stone in the field marked the site of the Battle of Homildon Hill where Hotspur destroyed the scottish aristocracy and army. My ancestors were sheep farmers and my Aunt farmed Floden Field. I seem drawn to disaster he he.

You can sit on massive comfy chairs near the open fires enjoying your tea/coffee/lunch etc. There are tens of thousands of books on display with loads more in the store rooms, they also specialise in really old and rare volumes, and have a great shop online if you cannot visit in person. The Angel of the North statue has a few good nicknames, given to it by the locals. Please do a video on Hadrian's Wall. It's a really fascinating place.

Another fun fact, after Cragside having the first electric lights, it led to Newcastle having the first street to be lit by electric lights. [Mosley street 1879]. On top of all this, the first railways were born in the North East. See, you just have to visit us!

[@tomlynch8114]

Brilliant. I’m from (and still live in) Newcastle. Technically he’s right, it’s not in Northumberland but it used to be right up until 1974 when the city of Newcastle and several other urban boroughs in the south east of the county were taken along with urban boroughs in the north east of County Durham (on the opposite side of the River Tyne) and were put into one of the newly created Metropolitan counties - Tyne and Wear. The Angel of the North is in the town of Gateshead (Newcastle’s cross river neighbour) so was never in Northumberland. The course of Hadrian’s Wall runs through modern day Newcastle (Pons Aelius to the Romans), though being a city there’s not many remains). The eastern end of the wall is in the town of Wallsend (technically a mile east of Newcastle’s boundaries) there’s a museum and remains and excavations of the fort there, which was called Segedunum. Also the bookshop in Alnwick - Barter Books is responsible for ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ they came across old posters (which were intended for use in the event of an invasion in WW2) in some boxes off stock they received. They displayed them, people loved them and wanted copies and then it took off from there.

[@bodeciawoman]

Hi neighbour lol..

[@geordieboy8945]

Yes, until 1974, Gateshead was in County Durham, as was Washington, which is home to 'Old Washington Hall', the ancestral home of US president George Washington, and so, until 1974 it was Washington CD [ Co Durham] as apposed to Washington DC in the US!

Brought up in a little village in the shadow of the Cheviot hills, educated in Swarland, Rothbury & Morpeth and my GP was comedian Alexander Armstrong’s father Henry aka Angus. I now live just outside Northumberland, but spend as much time as possible there & still support local businesses. One of which being a dairy farm where I buy raw milk nom nom. I got my love for raw milk as a child as a local farm supplied the milk to the village & schools which was unpasteurised. Pasteurised milk to me has little to no taste compared to raw milk. Many in the US have likely seen Northumberland on the big screen & not known it, Alnwick Castle was used for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies & a Transformers movie. Downton Abbey used Alnwick castle for Brancaster castle & he new Indiana Jones movie did some filming in the area recently.

The long and expansive sandy beaches of the North Sea coast. Warkworth Castle overlooking its medieval village spread below it, the border town of Berwick upon Tweed with its historic walls and the old mining communities around Ashington are all equally worth visiting. A full weeks holiday would barely do it justice.

Romans and Vikings to her shores made there way Conquered, settled, loved the land and wanted to stay. With her wild grassed dunes and golden beaches that stretch mile after mile Walking hand in hand by the waters edge, getting your feet wet making you smile.

[@iallso1]

While in the video it was stated that Hadrians wall was built to keep the Scots out, it was built with gates to permit passage through the wall in both directions. The Roman's economy ran on trade, it is assumed that the gates p, while allowing the army to pass north also allowed traders to pass in both directions paying taxes each time they crossed the border. There is also a second Roman wall north of Hadrians wall The Antonine Wall, known to the Romans as Vallum Antonini, was a turf fortification on stone foundations, built by the Romans across what is now the Central Belt of Scotland, between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. This indicates that the Roman's definatly carried out activities beyond "the edge of their empire"

I love to visit the Farne Isles to see the breeding colonies of seabirds including puffins. You can walk among the nesting birds but you will get attacked by the terns! You'll often see gannets flying around and a lot of seals.

Northumberland is my home, I'm at the centre of all the castles there. The video he made was far to rushed he missed out tons of information and history if you ever do hit our shores Northumberland is a must see... Thank you for showing just a small part of it Shhhhhhh don't tell everybody they'll all want to come.

[@SteveWallaceGuitar]

Another great episode! Loved the beginning with Debbie and the balloon 😂 I haven’t been to Northumberland before (Newcastle is the furthest north I’ve been in the U.K.) but I’m adding it to the list!

[@lesleymitcheson874]

My home county you will love it

[@paulwild3676]

The beaches are gorgeous.

@@paulwild3676 This, absolutely the best in the UK ... but wrap up warm.

[@geordieboy8945]

You are more than welcome!

[@geordieboy8945]

Glad you enjoyed Northumberland, you are welcome any time! Might be a good ideal for you to write down the names of the places he mentioned and then check out other, more detailed posts. This is my part of the world, so have been looking forward to this, but I kept saying slow down mate! You need to see these gems at a more sedate pace to truly appreciate.

Great video I keep learning so much about my country xx

[@russcattell955i]

I am surprised the lad did not mention Berwick-upon-Tweed, England's most Northerly town and old port. only some 2 +1/2 miles from the Scottish border.

[@kirstie-justbeingme]

I was really disappointed by that too… so much history, beauty and just a lovely town x i’ve been holidaying there at the caravan park since I was a teenager x

[@michaeldunn9228]

I live in Northumberland and although it was great to see this, it really did not show off Northumberland. The few castles shown really were not shown. If they were shown from say 1/2 mile away you would have been gobsmacked. Bamburgh and Alnwick are huge. Northumberland has so much more than shown. Love your videos. Watch them all. Keep up the great work 👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@ClaireTee123]

Thank you for another interesting video of an area of the UK I have never visited. I believe the famous tree at Sycamore Gap, Hadrian's Wall, was featured in the Robin Hood film starring Kevin Costner, amongst others. You might be interested in finding out about Sir George Cayley, from Yorkshire, who is nowadays acknowledged as the father of aviation. He designed a fixed wing flying machine in 1799 and identified the four forces which act on a heavier than air flying machine, and also the cambered wing. Modern aeroplane design is still based on his discoveries. The Wright brothers knew of Cayley's work and studied his findings carefully, and were able to take forward his ideas.

Another great travel ladies, thank you.. I’m making a nice list for weekends away 😊

[@HorrorAddickt]

A good vid to get the basics BUT Alnwick, Berwick and Newcastle are a MUST! sooooo much to see ya gonna need a lot of time to fit everything in. 😊❤

[@BeckyPoleninja]

@The Natasha and Debbie Show...The first powered, controlled, sustained flight took place 50 years before the Wright brothers, in 1852 (Henri Giffard flew 15 miles with a steam engine mounted on a dirigible). He went nearly 100 times as far as the Wright brothers did.

[@harpingon]

Ah my county. Lived here all my life. Nice job!

[@RushfanUK]

I grew up in Northumberland and returned to live here 10 years ago after a long time away, it's a fabulous county with great travel links to the rest of the UK and internationally through it's own airport, as with this video there are loads of castles, beaches, moorland and other scenic places to visit along with the towns of Alnwick and Morpeth and for real retail therapy the city of Newcastle Upon Tyne which also has a vibrant nightlife. By the way I have always pronounced Bamburgh as if the u is silent, so Bambrgh.

[@Cazzdevil]

I can't believe he did a whole video about Northumberland and didn't mention a SINGLE BEACH!! Northumberland has hands down the best beaches in the whole country. Stunningly beautiful sandy beaches that stretch on for miles. Also, he pronounced Bamburgh as "Bam-burr", where us Northumbrians pronounce it as "Bam-bruh". I'm very proudly born and bred Northumbrian so it made me very happy to see Natasha and Debbie's reactions to my home county because it's often overlooked in favour of places further south ☺☺

[@andrewcoates6641]

Last thing first, the BBC makes a regular series of programs about the safari park and the staff and owners at Longleat . It’s called Animal Park and although I don’t know for sure I think that you should be able to find some episodes on line or if you are able to get it, I would think that you can find it on BBC America. Okay a few years ago I went with my parents ( both now passed away), on a short touring holiday in the Northumberland area where we visited most of the places in the video. We actually stayed at a bed & breakfast in the village that was referred to as being a mile from the castle, the village is called Craster and apart from the castle, the church and the small harbour it’s main claim to fame is the small smokehouse where they produce kippers which are sent by post around the world. If you like kippers and visit the area you can send some back home or to friends without making your luggage smell of smoke or fish.

[@suemcbride1106]

Thank you for this video, I live here on the coast and it is very beautiful. The only criticism I would have is that he should have shown the country house at Cragside which is definately worth a look even if its just from the outside. Newcastle is the best place for shopping, it has a castle.

[@geordieboy8945]

Amazed that he did not show the house itself. The enormous fireplace has to be seen to be believed.

[@MoJo-dj8qb]

The house at Cragside is 1 of my all time favourites in the National Trust. There just aren't the words to describe the fireplace!

[@dianeandderrickhenderson475]

My thoughts exactly, how can you make a video at Cragside and not show the main thing... The house.

love this with you both messing around together

[@keithweelands5822]

The last time you said Bamburgh was correct. A selfish fact I booked Alnwick Castle for my daughters wedding. Shared the daytime with the tourists, so a wedding with a few thousand guests and had the Castle to ourselves in the evening.

[@MrScottev]

My home county. I guess it's easy to take things for granted but there really is so many beautiful places here.

[@OnASeasideMission]

Have to admit that Northumberland is off my range but... A second hand bookshop that big? I am there!

[@DC-iw9ug]

The tree was in Robinhood Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner and Morgen Freeman are there at one point

I live below Northumberland known as Gateshead in Tyne and Wear where the Angel of the North is and it is a very beautiful county. Very picturesque.

[@topchelseagirl9074]

If you manage to leave Longleat Safari Park with your windscreen wipers still in tact you are lucky - the naughty monkeys love ripping them off of cars lol.

[@charlottehollands9070]

Ah Northumberland - the home of my ancestors!! I come from one of the Border Reiver clans in Northumberland and I still have a lot of family in the area. I am very biased as it is where I went to University so I absolutely love it, but you should definitely check out Durham! It is an absolutely stunning Cathedral City not far from Newcastle. The sheer amount of history is just incredible. As for unusual homes, there is a great KZbin channel called "Living Big in a Tiny House". They toured a few UK ones at the beginning of 2020 but it's worth checking out others too as it really is amazing what some people are able to create!

[@stephenhodgson3506]

How can you go to Cragside and only show the grounds and not the house? Also how do you miss Berwick-upon-Tweed one of the most historic places in Northumberland.
