A 7 day holiday in the North East
Hi …..just arrived back after a fantastic week based at the Premier Inn on the quayside with marina views on 3 sides. Must be the best Premier Inn in the country....perfect disabled facilities in room 39. Maritime museum and HMS Trincomalee 5 minute walk away. Restaurants of all types abound in the area..we loved the Baan Thai only minutes away near the station. The history and regeneration in this area has been beautifully moulded to remember the now long gone industrial past. We spent days in Durham with its hills and cobbles, Whitby because we love the place... Beamish open air museum, Stockton for its market, the list is endless. Yes I did get over the Transporter Bridge at Middlesbrough as well. Also included Gateshead Millennium Bridge on the way home !
Just goes to show what could have been done at Dundee instead of building that ugly V&A museum. We were amazed at how the area has been regenerated and how full of history Hartlepool is despite the loss of virtually all the steelmaking, shipbuilding, coal mining industries.
We were blessed with great weather all week and honestly would recommend this area to anyone wanting to explore the North East part of England. Beware the cobbles !!
We will be back !!
