THE most remarkable,...
by NUFC
THE most remarkable, important, spiritual place in the whole of the North East is ... St James Park, home of the great Newcastle United football club. We have just extended our seating and the stadium can be seen for miles around the city - on home match games, you can hear the roar of the 50,000+ crowd all over Newcastle - spine tingling stuff Through all the years I lived in Newcastle, maybe the fondest memory would be walking my two bearded collie dogs, Sooty and Muffin down on Whitley Bay front every morning very early in the summer. Whitley Bay is sort of crumbling away now and can look a little tatty, but nothing beats watching the rolling waves just sitting looking out to sea.

Of stotties and pints of OJ
by sourbugger
The Stotties are not , as their name might suggest as sub-species of the Geordie tribe.
I remember them well from student days, When college cooking dropped to the level of complete muck - stotties would come to the rescue.
It is in fact a largeish white flattish bread, native to the region which can be filled by just about anything edible.
Greggs the Bakers are usually given the credit for reviving the food on a mass-scale although they are also available from many other cafes and shops.
You can also find freshly squeezed orange juice in Newcastle - in pint milk bottles.
I believe the local dairy do it as a sideline - and very useful too !

Northumberland's beautiful...
by mcharlton
Northumberland's beautiful coast and countryside make the County a walker's paradise offering everything from challenging long distance walks across the hills to gentle strolls along the silver sands of an uncrowded beach. Many suggested walks are included in the wide range of books available from the Northumberland On-Line Gift Shop.
Unlike many other countries, England is crossed by a vast network of public footpaths which provide open access to the countryside. It is illegal for farmers and landowners to do anything to restrict members of the public from using these footpaths and local authorities (like Northumberland County Council) are responsible for ensuring that all paths are kept open and useable. There are no less than 3,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways in the County, suitable for walkers, which provides some indication of the variety available. All these rights of way are included in the Ordnance Survey 'Landranger' and 'Pathfinder' series of maps which are available from the Northumberland 'Virtual' Gift Shop. You are welcome to come enjoy walking in Northumberland but please always follow the Country Code. It is especially important to stay on designated footpath routes and to keep dogs on leads when there is any livestock (farm animals) present.
