Actor Robson Green is showing viewers his beloved homeland, Northumberland, in a second TV series – but why not go to see it for yourself?
The star of TV’s Grantchester raves about the county in More Tales About Northumberland and says: “I knew there was lots more to explore and discover about an area I knew and loved well.
“The first series was so successful, I was so pleased with the reaction it got nationally. If I can contribute in some way to helping Northumberland, that’ll be one of the proudest things I could be associated with.”
Robson will be seen doing lots of exciting experiences the county has to offer – from shipwreck diving at the Farne Islands to wild camping in the Cheviot Hills and digging for Roman relics at Hadrian’s Wall, to skinny-dipping in the North Sea.
Tempted to go? Northumberland Cottages is highlighting Easter holiday cottage deals with huge savings.
The Old Mill just outside Craster, once a religious retreat, is now a rambling five-bedroom holiday home ideal for two families. Sleeping 10-14 people, and with up to three dogs welcome, the first week of the Easter holidays starting Friday March 27 is now £1,358, saving £315 on the original price of £1,673.
The Old Mill is ideal for visiting Holy Island, Bamburgh and Alnwick Castles, or for buying the famous kippers direct from the smokehouse just two miles away.
In the coastal village of Beadnell, Craster Cottage has been renovated to create a modern holiday home for six. Easter week is now £885, saving £154 on the original price of £731.
Beadnell’s beach is only 300 metres away, and village facilities include a pub, cafe and shop. Boat trips to the wildlife haven of the Farne islands operate from nearby Seahouses just two miles up the coast.
Robson’s series runs until April 6. See Northumbrian Cottages
