I live in Weardale ... about 40 minutes drive from Beamish. About 5 years ago I witnessed an old farmhouse that was only about one mile from my house, being dismantled. It was rebuilt in Beamish, it was put on a hilltop overlooking the Pit Village. it's called Spains Farm. I went to see it not long after it was opened.

[@ninmc5959]

I love Beamish ❤ wonderful museum

[@sandyc5331]

Absolutely love Beamish ❤

[@DiscoLiz]

I did too! Absolutely loved it!

[@imogenharrison3432]

Welcome to the North East. Beamish is about 8 miles from my home. It's a proper hands on museum and one of the finest in the UK.

[@DiscoLiz]

Beamish was AMAZING! We loved it so much. Lucky to be a local!

[@theswan4117]

I live in the north east I think sometimes we take it for granted and don't realise how much of a special place it is

[@PipkinDog5]

Loved it

[@PipkinDog5]

I'm pleased you've having fun!

[@TC-qd1zw]

The trolley is a Tram. Hope you enjoyed your day. Northeast is a great place. Fantastic beaches and Countryside. Oh and the people are not bad either. Lived in a house like them in Denton Burn, a once little village on the west of Newcastle.

[@DiscoLiz]

We absolutely loved it! But definitely want to come back and spend more time exploring!

[@seeker1432]

The sound of that Bus brings back so many memories has a child with Mum. Wonderful sound.

[@DiscoLiz]

That makes my heart happy! I decided to leave that clip with the sound hoping someone would enjoy it! Success! 👏🏻

[@FelipeLoops]

What a cool adventure in Beamish! Love seeing more of the English countryside! And all the yummy food, too! PS: I have only recently gotten into espresso martinis, and I've not had the salted caramel variety yet, but I'm definitely craving one now! 🍸

[@DiscoLiz]

Beamish was such a highlight of the trip. Such a fun day! That salted caramel espresso martini was one of the best I've ever had - I should have raved about it more!

[@scatton61]

Glad that you are enjoying yourself... Not sure that I'd choose a Toby for a Sunday Roast. You'd be better off in a popular independent pub in a village. Just look for a carpark full of posh cars. 🙂

[@DiscoLiz]

Our local tour guides chose Toby for us just because it has everything you could possibly want for a Sunday Roast as a first impression. I loved it, so I'll definitely be looking for another Sunday Roast on the next visit :)

[@DavidFoster-i7o]

@@DiscoLiz ...Shepherd and Shepherdess was at the entrance to Beamish. Sack the tour guide!

[@DiscoLiz]

@ hahaha we were still full from fish & chips when we left Beamish! We had a nice few hours of relaxation before heading back out for the Cavery :)

[@BlameThande]

I'm glad more tourists are becoming aware of Beamish and what it represents. Toby is a bit hit and miss in my experience, it depends on the staff at the individual branch and how long the meat has been out.

[@DiscoLiz]

That's a big thanks to my local friends Gary & Becca for telling us we had to go! He knew I'd love it. The carvery was delicious that night - we loved it!

[@jumperking368]

All that existed at the Beamish museum site originally was a railway station and a colliery. Nearly all the buildings including the shops, churches and farmhouses were dismantled brick by brick at various locations in the north east and then taken to Beamish and rebuilt exactly as they were. It is a great place to visit. Hope you saw Durham Cathedral and Alnwick Castle if you like Harry Potter.

[@DiscoLiz]

It’s amazing they have such a large piece of land to be able to keep adding to it as well. So amazing! We did in fact visit Durham Cathedral the day before this - that episode is up on my channel if you want to see! :)

[@vaughnwilliams1208]

I always wonder what Americans think of Dandelion and Burdock. Beamish looks fantastic. I would've loved to see Liz get a historic hair do at the hairdressers there

[@DiscoLiz]

Mike enjoyed it! It was too much of a licorice flavor for me. 😂

[@tonylilley6611]

You should have tried Colman's seafood temple for fish and chips, here in south shields

[@DiscoLiz]

Adding to my list for the next trip!

[@candicoatedbonbon]

Everything looked so lovely on your trip. Glad that you both had a great time.

[@DiscoLiz]

Truly the trip of a lifetime, and I'm ready to go back!

[@TobyCarvery1]

Looks delicious! Hope you had a great time!

[@DiscoLiz]

It was! We loved it :)

[@MaxwellMoore-d1u]

I'm British and you've beat me to beamish. I'm hoping to go this year .

[@DiscoLiz]

Oh man, you definitely have to go! It was amazing!

[@MaxwellMoore-d1u]

@DiscoLiz When it warms up a bit I'm going.

[@nixonsmateruby1]

The pink is a Geordie tan off the cold.

[@DiscoLiz]

HAH! I would definitely fit right in then!

[@louisebrown4622]

Beamish is a great experience

[@DiscoLiz]

Truly was - would recommend it to anyone!

[@zhukov43]

you should try and get to Lindisfarne while here. Beamish is an excellent place.

[@DiscoLiz]

Oh man - we’re already back in the US, but I’m putting that on my list for the future. It looks amazing! This first trip focused mostly on London, but the next I’m going to be on the hunt for history!

[@777petew]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@DiscoLiz]

I had an amazing time!

[@Whos_boots_are_those_shoes]

Rosie red cheeks is part of winter in England

[@DiscoLiz]

Hah! I'd fit right in then, that's for sure!

[@lyndoncmp5751]

We don't get 'winters' in England anymore.

[@WhatintheDisneyWorld]

Beamish is only about 20 mins away from us. We have a vlog up from last year. Great vlog again.

[@DiscoLiz]

Love that! It's such a gorgeous museum - loved getting to visit!

[@bill-wd7zs]

There's a very similar living museum close to where I live. The black Country museum. Well worth a visit, they've even got a chippy (cooked in beef dripping) and a nice pub.

[@DiscoLiz]

Love that! The chippy at Beamish was cooked in the beef drippings too, I think!

[@blackadder1966]

Which kebab shop did you go to.? Looking for a good one. I'm heading back to the Newcastle area for a holiday. Used to live in Hexham but emigrated to oz 18 years ago.

[@DiscoLiz]

Wish I could share, but my friends ordered it and so I’m not sure!!

[@animalian01]

I was born in 1961, so I still remember things looking like those 1950's houses.

[@DiscoLiz]

Love that! Such a great era.

[@stevenpryce7808]

There's over 25 bridges over the coaly Tyne if you travel to the river source in the Penines

[@DiscoLiz]

Oh man!!! That’s impressive!

[@sandraback7809]

Oh my goodness! Beamish has a historical area for decade I was born! 1955! If I didn’t feel ancient before a really do now……..🙄🥴🙄🤣

[@DiscoLiz]

Hahaha my parents were born in the 50s too, so I’m sure they’ll feel the same watching this one. We actually talked about how crazy it would be to have an 80s portion to the village, so I get it!

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Beamish is fantastic.

[@DiscoLiz]

Completely agreed. I absolutely loved it!

[@mickparker3726]

You need to see Newcastle during the day time, it it has stunning buildings, museums and shopping. Easily the best in England. I await the hatred!

[@sharonwelsh8102]

Couldn't agree with you more but i am from the North East

[@DiscoLiz]

I definitely look forward to going back to visit again someday!

[@DavidFoster-i7o]

sssh we don't want no strangers here. Local shops for local people :D

[@psmith77271]

Beamish is not in newcastle. Millenium bridge belongs to gateshead, not newcastle

[@DiscoLiz]

Haha yes, we did have to drive to Beamish but it was part of our time staying in Newcastle :)

[@CliveGreen-q1x]

Macaroni cheese with a traditional British Sunday lunch! 🙄 Still, we have to cater for our American friends!!

[@DiscoLiz]

hahaha I'd skip the mac n cheese and take another yorkshire pudding instead!

[@heatherboardman7004]

Hate the stuff. It was never part of a Sunday lunch. I always ask them not to put it on.

[@stevenpryce7808]

Beamish is 5 minutes drive for me,pay for your ticket & you can go free every day for a year

[@DiscoLiz]

Truly such a great deal!

[@louisebrown4622]

Liz where was your Harry Potter scarf?

[@DiscoLiz]

It was quite a bit warmer on this day! It was up to the 50s F - I even got to wear my lighter coat on this day!

[@777petew]

Your rosy cheeks may have been through having fresh air all time? We all do it on holiday.

[@DiscoLiz]

Could be! All that chilly air!!!

[@heatherboardman7004]

@@DiscoLiztake no notice of he snobs. You can get a good meal there especially if you have children.😊

[@neuralwarp]

It's not Santa. We don't have Santa in Britain. It's Father Christmas.

[@DavidFoster-i7o]

Santa!!! Santa Claus in fact. The US has Kris Kringle

[@alisonsmith4801]

Not in the North East ….It’s always been Santa, I’m born and bred Tyneside and never heard anyone say Father Christmas. Always Santa.

[@nixonsmateruby1]

Almost in gods country (north of the Tyne) and Newcastle is amazing and Northumberland is beautiful. The people are amazing in the north east, though Middlesbrough and Sunderland make you depressed.

[@DiscoLiz]

Definitely want to come back and spend more time in the North in the future!

[@anitaherbert1037]

Toby is a really cheap chain.

[@DiscoLiz]

Yeah, it’s one of those British chains that everyone wants to try though!

[@nixonsmateruby1]

Thats not the real Newcastle. Not even close.

[@Dragon-ic2mt]

Beamish is 10.5 miles away from Newcastle. The Geordie sprawl continues..lets pretend places are our own that are nowhere near

[@Avfc-m4w]

Nooooooo not the Toby carvery worst place ever.

[@DiscoLiz]

It was pretty darn delicious, I have to say!

[@commonman131]

Don't use the word Newcastle Beamish is in county Durham while Newcastle is in northhumberland.

[@DiscoLiz]

We were staying in Newcastle and explored Newcastle in both vlogs, as well as the other locations you mentioned :)
