Semi-weird thoughts time. I'm so glad they demolished the old disused public conveniences on the Rothbury riverside path. They reveal the base of this lovely beech tree, part of the Rothbury Tree Trail https://www.rothburytrees.uk/tree-trail/

Heather, just off the carriageway.

I was quite sad to see this tree gone on my usual morning walk. I can see why though. It used to make ominous creaking sounds in windy weather and it was obviously rotten inside.

A wet walk this morning, but lovely up on the carriageway.

The "Dragon's head", in the grounds of Cragside, Northumberland, UK. I'm lucky enough to be able to walk here from home, which I did today.

An interesting talk today by Northumberland Wildlife Trusts on their potential estate purchase. Their slideshow included an old map of the Simonside and Lordenshaw area. It included a marking for a "Selbus Cave", which is a bit of a mystery. It doesn't appear on modern OS maps, note does any other cave to the south of Simonside.

Cottage rooftops and chimney pots among the trees on the Cragside Estate at Rothbury, Northumberland.
Nearby is the real crowd-puller, the Tudor Revival country house that was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm.
However, the estate, which is in the care of the National Trust, covers a large area of Northumbrian countryside that is criss-crossed with miles of paths and a drive-through route.
Meanwhile, a number of these cottages, which were once homes to estate workers, are now given over to holiday accommodation.#england #northumberland #rothbury #countryside #nationaltrust #july #summer #photography

The field edge. Poppies and tufted vetch. My morning walk

There are a lot of interesting cars in the Beggar's Rigg car park, Rothbury, today. I was just taking recycling to the bottle bank, but I had to stop and take a look. Seeing how clean the engine was, I think these are in show condition.
I don't really know much about American cars, but they were interesting.Im sure someone can tell me exactly what they are.

A shaded forest path winds through lush greenery and ferns, with sunlight dappling the trail as it passes beneath towering evergreens and alongside weathered rock faces. Nestled in the heart of the Northumberland countryside near Rothbury, the trail offers a peaceful escape ideal for a leisurely #CountrysideWalk. The surrounding woodland and rocky outcrops form part of the scenic #NatureTrail routes popular with walkers exploring the Coquet Valley and its #ScenicViews. The area’s tranquil beauty and rich greenery make it a quintessential #ForestPath experience in rural Northumberland.

It's amazing what you find just a few metres off the path.

I chickened out of a group walk this morning because of the wet weather forecast. It brightened up in the afternoon so I walked across to Cragside. Quite a change from a couple of weeks ago when they were turning people away, hardly anyone was there. I tried the scone of the month, savory cheese and marmite! I loved it but I expect it will divide opinion.

This is the moon setting as the sun was rising, taken from my back door this morning. It did not look so bright and sun-like in real life, but like a red moon.

When the water goes down there'll be a tree stuck in the stepping stones.

The river in Rothbury is the highest I've seen it since early spring. These waves are caused by stepping stones that are well submerged.
Rothbury Bridge is only a couple of hundred metres away so the frequent winter periods when they are submerged are not a problem.

The rain from earlier this week has left the Coquet high, but today is lovely and sunny. Ideal for a morning walk.

The Railway Hotel is going to be auctioned with a pretty low guide price of £180,000

However I think the purchase price will be a lot lower than what it will cost to make something of it, the interior was videoed by some "urban explorers".

I hope something can be done with it. It's a fantastic stone building in a prime location. However it has previously been refused planning permission to convert into multiple flats as it has very limited parking spaces and roadside parking is always busy on the middle of the village.

There's a patch of Access Land to the south east of Rothbury. The path up to it used to have white birch railings, but these fell down a year ago. The path has now become quite overgrown to the point where an unofficial path about 100 metres further along the cutting is easier.
