Last day. Newcastle to Wallsend.

Only 5.5 miles but strong wind and a bit of rain. A bit more industrial than we’ve previously seen. Arrived at Wallsend shortly after noon. Note the signage.

There’s a sculpture of a Roman soldier with a fake name.

A tower with elevator, thank goodness, for viewing the foundations of the Roman fort.

We caught the train to Whitley Bay, a delightful seaside town with a good Turkish restaurant and an amazing yarn shop, Ringorosie’s.

Our B&B in a Victorian row house was our last accommodation provided by our trip coordinator, Contours. Paying for their services was a good decision.
