Morpeth

We planned this trip for last Saturday, unfortunately tummy bug decided to be Dom's guest and we had to stay at home. Dom is though cookie and clear out this uninvited nasty guest from his body in few days, so... today we went to Morpeth :)

We can clearly say that Morpeth is our faved town in Northumberland to visit and is just less then one hour bus journey from our town. This place changed since we were there first time. Some changes - specially near the river Wansbeck were dictated by floods from 2008 and 2012.

What you can find in Morpeth? Look at the pics - all today's :)


St George's Church near Wansbeck River


Morpeth Town Centre


Clock Tower


Morpeth Chantry, Bagpipes Museum and Tourist Information Centre.


Morpeth Castle - private property if I' not wrong..


Morpeth Court House - built in 1821 - ex prison, ex -magistrates Court, ex - police station - at the moment luxury self-catering apartments for tourists.


Carlisle Park


William Turner's Gardens - part of Carlisle Park.

Plus we were in our fave foodie place - The Old Bakehouse Coffee Shop - this is hidden place with yummy breakfasts, lunches, dinners and scrumptious cakes :) Just near Coffee shop you can find Old Bakehouse Millenium Green - little hidden garden in the town centre - http://www.millenniumgreenmorpeth.org.uk/.
