Hope you saw our beautiful county on Michael Portillo’s Great British Railway Journeys on 23rd January.
Michael visited the historic walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed and the magnificent Royal Berwick Border bridge. He continued to Alnwick via Alnmouth railway station to visit Barter Books, which was previously Alnwick’s railway station; and stay at The White Swan hotel to visit the first class dining room from the Olympic, the Titanic’s sister ship. He concluded his Northumberland visit by travelling further south to Morpeth station to visit Woodhorn Museum near Ashington and marvel at the artwork produced by the Pitmen Painters.
We’d love to hear what you thought of the episode. Please leave your comments below.

“be travelling” should be “by travelling “
Thanks for spotting that Chris. Apologies, it has now been corrected.
