Goswick Golf Club

Reviewed By Sivaharan_S

Well is golf not full of pleasant surprises. Living in Edinburgh and having golfed for 20+ years I've played many of the fabled UK and Ire top 100. Rarely have I googled England's Top 100. Just 70 minutes from Edinburgh and less from Newcastle / Hexham myself and a pal had a week arranged. Matfen Hall was good as an experience. but Goswick was a genuine pleasure. Rarely have we left a club so sad to be moving on. The welcome was rare. The pro was on fine form. Nothing was a bother, even a late request to play off the white tees. And local members wished us all the best, chuckling quietly to themselves as we had no clue as to what truly lay in store. Hole after hole of immaculate tee boxes, rough cut to challenge, not kill you, and greens that were incredible. Bunkers in place for 129 years; silently guarding their greens. The sun shone and the wind blew but morale never dipped. It helped we tied on Stableford and nailed the SSS of 73 off the Champ Tees. Yes it was in good nick as the Open Qualifier was held here recently but it is clear the course is magical. As we left at 8pm I noted the clubhouse remained immaculate, and the lockers rooms had been swept and mopped throughly... Everything about this place smacks of well run, and for a jobbing golfer it offers a savage test. For anyone half decent, a challenge that will endure long after I've lost the scorecard from our day. We will return. Again. And again.

The Lowry Trail

Reviewed By DonaldQuackers

Our first visit to Berwick and we had no idea Lowry had been taken by the town/river/people and that he visited so often. The tourist boards at the various places along the walk where he painted the views display his works.

Visited today (having visited the area two years ago and didn’t even know it was here - a real hidden gem) and we all (Grandma and my four year old son) really enjoyed it. The staff are so friendly and helpful, but at the same time leave you be to see the pigs, the sheep, the geese, the ducks and most importantly the ‘heavies’. It’s clear to see these beautiful animals are all much loved members of the family, the staff speak with such fondness of them. Being able to get so close to such giants to pet and stroke them and give them a treat is very special (if you love horses). Looking at the history behind Farm technology and how the horses were used is fascinating - and seeing all the impressive harnesses, bridles and leatherwork displayed gave a true sense of how strong these animals are. A gift shop where you can buy a souvenir and grab a slice of cake and coffee really completes the trip. Sad to miss the carriage rides but if we’re ever in the area again visit Hay Farm Heavies would definitely be on our must see list. Thank you to the boys (Teddy, Merlin, Scot, Dan and cheeky Stan) for being so patient and gentle and Cane and Sparkle too!

Cocklawburn Beach

Reviewed By margareth273 - Leeds, United Kingdom

What a lovely surprise to find this gorgeous beach. We saw the signs on our way to Spittal so went to Cocklawburn. The parking is good and when the tide is low the beach is amazing. It is good solid sand for walking and for the dog to run on. Our dog ran so fast and so much he actually pulled a hind leg muscle but he did really enjoy it I have to say. There is so much beach available for him to just set off and go CRAZY ????. It also does the soul good to have a blowey winter walk on a lovely beach. An absolutely superb beach and the bonus is free parking.

Loved the clean promenade, flat with lots of benches along the way. At the southern end of the promenade there are some fantastic photo opportunities with regard to rock pools/rock formations.

We enjoyed a lovely walk along the beach which we found to be very clean. There were lots of dogs around but no mess left behind. We enjoyed skimming stones, looking for shells and taking photos of the cliffs.
