I'm American, but my mom is a Geordie. We always visited my aunt when we went to England and i thought her living right next to a castle was the coolest thing ever.

Oh yeah that's just how most English Heritage places are ๐Ÿ˜† what you "do" is walk around, read the plaques, and climb up bits if you're allowed - sometimes there's even a roof!

Ha, i suppose. Some just have a lot more to see than others. Like i mentioned elsewhere in the thread i got to see most of the big ones for the North growing up like Lindisfarne, Bede's World, the Viking Museum, and a couple of the old Abbeys around York. Even hiked to an ancient stone circle in a sheep pasture in either the Lake District or Northumbria. Not as old, but the National Train Museum was awesome as well.

Now that i think about it, i spent way more time in Yorkshire than i thought!
