An iconic Toon building for more than 800 years. Easy to capture minus pedestrians, parked cars & discarded rubbish you say? Go on then, try it for yourself sometime :) @NewcastleCastle @altweet_pet @NGinitiative @NE1BID @OSleisure @NewcastleCC

You’d be forgiven for thinking it was Cornwall, or Devon or perhaps Brittany. The answer is of course somewhere much nicer than all 3 :) @StormHour @nationaltrust @EnglishHeritage @northcoastaonb @discovernland @NT_TheNorth @VisitNlandbiz @OSleisure @VisitEngland @NaturalEngland

We are looking for enthusiastic and friendly people to join our team at The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre and Walltown. Find out more - j.mp/38GDeHN

Knitting was part of Herring Girl culture. We want to represent this with a display of knitted herrings. If you are a knitter can you add a fish to our net? Here is the pattern http:btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site6742/2014/…

The sun is shining in the North East today, after a few days of pretty wild weather. I'm so excited about getting back out into the Toon again and exploring with visitors as soon as we are able to. #Newcastle #RiverTyne #Gateshead #Bluebadgeguide #NewcastleGateshead #TourLocal

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

Hello everyone, I have changed my Twitter name, I'm now @TourGuideLaura

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

And finished. The final edit from my recent @TheatreRoyalNew forays. Pin-sharp with oodles of usage potential as a 300MB composite image. And no signs to ruin the view. A truly wonderful building in an even greater City :) @altweet_pet @NewcastleCC @NGinitiative @Tynetoinvest

Since we've had such rubbish weather lately, here's a nice picture of Newcastle in the sunshine to cheer you up a bit

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.

@GraemePeacock1 Are you aware of @ExcludedUK

As a freelancer with an est’d 84% reduction in turnover c/f 04/01/2020 & who has been deemed worthy of £90 of support since March by HM Treasury, the prospect now of little or no work until prob April elicits little joy. I’ll think I’ll just go shed a tear. Or scream. Or both!!

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!

It was a slightly damp tour around Chesters today, but I had the pleasure of working with Robson Green on his walk along Hadrian's wall. Rain did not stop play! #HadriansWall #HadriansCavalry #WalkingHadriansWall #EnglishHeritage #Romans #RobsonGreen #Northumberland

Let's hope this leads to an increase in visitors, once it is safe to travel and lockdown is over.

it's #EnglishTourismWeek20 celebrating all that is good about England. In the far north, one of my favourite places to take visitors is #HadriansWall- but it was never the border between #England and #Scotland. Come and find out more with me when lockdown is over @BBGuides

#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

Happy #NorthumberlandDay ! Can't wait to be back out there @EHHadriansWall @VisitNland @LindisfarneMead @NTlindisfarne @HofHadriansWall @discovernland @langleycastle @NLandDay @BBGuides @alnwickgazette @N_landCouncil @NTFarneIslands @alnwickrum

Are you missing the Barker Research Library? Here is a #TBT of how the room looked when it was the University Law library and how it looked recently pre-lockdown. Our digitised archives can be accessed online through this link dur.ac.uk/library/asc/co… #FamilyTree #ArchivesAtHome
