A Quiet Wander Around The Most Beautiful Village In Northumberland

We're heading north, driving up to Scotland on a road trip with the van. Driving through the county on Northumberland, the northern most county in England situated just below the Scottish border, we decided to pay a visit to my favourite village in the county, Blanchland. It's the most picturesque place that feels like stepping back in time to how a lot of villages here in England used to be. I hope you enjoy this short tour :) Next episode, Scotland.

    What a gift it is to be able to see such places through you, Stacy! Some of us wouldn't know they exist if it weren't for your videos. So beautiful, and you're right - just like stepping back in time.

    Such a compliment Laura, thank you! ❤️🙏 I’ve always had a passion for sharing the little known places so needless to say, there’s plenty more coming up! I think that’s one thing I enjoy so much about slow travel, you go off the beaten path and discover so many truly wonderful places you’d never have known about otherwise. Wishing you a lovely week ahead 😊

    Absolutely breathtaking, and it really is like moving backward in time, that toilet for one! But just seeing the church and the graveyard and the village, imagining generations who all had their most beautiful and most heartbreaking moments all here in this small little spot, over and over, it's very moving. I hope to visit one day.

    Beautiful! There are places I see or visit and have this "feeling" run through me, it is like I was meant to be living in that time period and location and your videos reflect all of that. For me personally, I was born too late into the world and the wrong country, I should have been born in the late 1800's and in the UK or Ireland. Thank you for re-charging my body and spirit!

    I just had to comment on this. I’m from Northumberland originally but now live in the south-west of England. Both are very beautiful, but my heart is in Northumberland my spiritual home but I also feel a great affinity with Cumbria near by too. I’ve been through Blanchland many times, but only wizzing through on my motorcycle. Never really to stop long to admire or explore. Thank you for making such a serene and mindful video. I must give the place a proper visit next time I’m there. ❤

    My Paternal Grandfather John James Proudlock. Lived in the Village of Wall. His father was from the Village of Simonburn. His Mother was from Wall Ann Stobbart. Stobart. I have visited both of these Villages they are so lovely. The Church in Simonburn, is so old and rustic, but well maintained. I couldn't find any Proudlock headstones in the Churches graveyard. The Male line of my Grandfather's relatives were mostly Joiners or Cabinet Makers..

    It’s a gorgeous place, you really should try and get a visit in one day ☺️ Yes it’s technically in County Durham although when I’ve been working with the Northumberland tourist board they’ve been happy for me to include it in a Northumberland itinerary as it’s just on the border. Either way, a stunning location and one I can’t help myself returning to time and again 🥰 Have a lovely week ahead.

    We were there around 9/10am so definitely going to be quieter than later in the day but it’s always been a pretty quiet place whenever I’ve visited and stayed there 😊 I suppose as it’s up North, much quieter on the whole compared to places like the Cotswolds or Cornwall which are inundated with tourists
