We visited in August so it was busy in town and restaurants but that’s okay. The weather was beautiful and it’s close to several castles, the coast and Hadrians Wall. The streets are very narrow so mind your driving, don’t go too fast

Beautiful scenery had some trouble finding parking because it was so busy, but makes sense because we went on bank holiday weekend.
