Happy International Tourist guide day! Although we, Blue Badge Tourist Guides, might not be able to do much actual guiding at the moment we can still celebrate the day by sharing stories of guides around the UK. Please follow the hashtag #internationaltouristguideday!

Today is  #InternationalTouristGuideDay celebrating the work of qualified Professional Tourist Guides throughout the world.  I am proudly wearing my 'BLUE BADGE'- this is the best job in the world! #BlueBadgeGuides #𝐈𝐓𝐆𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 #wftga_official_ #BritainsBestGuides

What an amazing shot of #DurhamCathedral, reposted from @stevielandscapes It is almost 1000 years old and was built to house the relics of St Cuthbert. The American author Bill Bryson visited and called it the 'best little Cathedral on planet Earth ' #Durham #TourLocal

Here's a clip from #WalkingHadriansWall with actor and presenter Robson Green. Tune in tonight (14 Jan) as he explores the length of one of the largest remnants of the Roman Empire - an 80-mile journey coast-to-coast. @channel5_tv at 9pm.

Look out for Robson Green walking Hadrian's Wall on Channel 5 starts Thursday 14 January at 9pm. I showed him around Chesters fort and by Blue Badge colleague Sue pointed out some interesting features at Birdoswald. #HadriansWall #RobsonGreen #TourGuideNorth Pic #NlandRangers

Happy New Year everyone, from Antony Gormley's symbol of renewal and hope for the future. Here's to 2021!

Slowly getting back to the way we were and doing the things we love 🖤😊 Today our #daytrip is the Northumberland Coast. First stop #HolyIsland then onto #Seahouses & #Bamburgh @VisitNland stanley-travel.com/day-trips/

#BarnardCastle has had plenty of famous visitors-Richard III Oliver Cromwell #JohnWesley #CharlesDickens But perhaps the most notorious visitor will be a more recent one- a quick thinking local has erected a very special Blue Plaque this week #DominicCummngs

Same scene today- Robert Stephenson's High Level Bridge spans the Tyne Gorge- built to carry the railway link towards Scotland, the canny Geordies incorporated a second level for vehicles and pedestrians with a toll. It's Grade I listed, still used today- my favourite bridge!

Here's a quiz from the Laing Gallery in Newcastle. theguardian.com/culture/2020/m…

Today, May 6th 1840, the Penny Black postage stamp was introduced, radically reforming the British postal system. Why dont you send someone a letter or a postcard today to let them know you are thinking about them ? Here's a postcard of the Angel of the North
