Cross border raids from the Scots, with looting and pillaging, ensured that when it comes to castles, we have the most and finest quality of any county in the country.

Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in England and probably one of the most famous. The original home of Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter films, as well as featuring in the first series of Rowan Atkinson's comedy Blackadder, there are many aspects of the castle that will be oddly familiar.

In 1309, the first Lord Percy, Henry, bought the castle and immediately set about renovating the buildings and grounds.

In 1364 Harry Hotspur, was born in the Keep above the gatehouse of the castle. He first saw battle at the age of 8 and was later knighted at the age of 11 having established his reputation as a great warrior. His impulsive nature would lead to eventual capture by opposing forces.

Henry, The Ninth Earl of Northumberland, was born in 1564 and would have became known as the Wizzard Earl due to the scientific experiments he carried out, as well as the vast library he accrued, as well as being a central figure of The School of Knight. So it is appropriate hundreds of years later that Alnwick Castle became home to Harry Potter's Hogwarts school.

The constable of Alnwick Castle in 1605 was Thomas Percy, the Ninth Earl's cousin. He was responsible for collecting rents and managing bailiffs. Thomas had dinner with the Ninth Earl on 4th November 1605, however the next day, the 5th November, Thomas Percy was exposed as one of the central figures of the Gunpowder Plot to blow up parliament and was shot and killed while trying to escape. The ninth earl was believed to be guilty, by association but no more and imprisoned in the infamous Tower of London.

1950 saw the castle first open to the public and while you tour the castle it is important to remember that despite its huge scale and grandeur, it is still a family home. You will see faces in photographs around the castle who can sometimes be spotted mingling with the crowds of visitors.

During my visit I had a close encounter with a Range Rover, driven by none other than Ralph, the Twelfth Duke of Northumberland himself.

There are also plenty of activities available for younger visitors around the castle. The Knights School is particularly popular, on the day I was there a school visit prevented me filming, though the children loved dressing up in costume, practicing their swordsmanship and jousting around the arena.

Add to this the Dragon Quest. A true test of young knights' problem solving skills and bravery, but like the sign says children. Make sure you take a grown up with you, as children who venture inside on their own may be fed to the dragon.

Historic Alnwick Castle, a great day out for history, tv or film buffs and families alike.

Lake Ullswater to be precise.

Now “the lakes” as they are known, can be very busy in summer, I managed to pick a day where the crowds had stayed away, but the sun was shining.

It’s been a long time since I was at Ullswater, in fact it was an old school trip, so I took the first chance I got just to pull the car over into a layby and take a look along the lake.

The view itself was absolutely spectacular and I’m not sure the camera captures the true scale of the landscape. However, the best way to drink in all the surroundings is to take a boat trip.

Now the one thing about boat trips is they cant be rushed. You have to got at the pace set by the Captain, and this trip took me two hours to complete with the Ullswater Steamers.

I boarded at Glenridding, headquarters to the Ullswater Steamers. We then went over the lake which was quite busy with allsorts of traffic, to Howtown. The place I had visited in my childhood. From the mooring at Howtown we then went on to Pooley Bridge and returned via the same route.

So put your life jacket on, hop aboard, kick back and relax, whilst I take you on a circuit of Ullswater in the Lake District.

The only museum in the country in fact to be dedicated to vetinary practice.

James Alfred Wight was the real James Herriot, born in Sunderland in 1919 before moving to Scotland with his parents at an early age. His first job vet's job after university was with the practice of Donald Sinclair (Siegfried Farnham in the books) at Thirsk. As a vet, just like in the books and films, he was out in all weathers and at all times of the day and night. This may account for the fact he only picked up his pen to write his first book at the age of 50.

You will need to allow a good 60-90 minutes for your visit as their is plenty to see, including some very interactive pieces on the top floor as well as a highly unique "test your strength" machine. (email or comment if you want to know more about that one.)

For the cricketing fans amongst us, visit the Thirsk Museum just across the road which is the birthplace of the founder of Lords Cricket Ground, otherwise you can head off into the market square where you will find a range of venues offering cream teas to full three course meals.

]]> Lakes and Countryside We start off on the other side of the hill from Tan Hill, where we were a couple of episodes back. Almost within sight of the market town, Barnard Castle. When we look down on the A66 there is absolutely no taffic noise. Continuing up a narrow country road, as is so typical with these tracks we eventually run out of road. Turning back towards Barnard Castle we head west towards the spectacular Blackton and Hury Reservoirs. Now this is the type of place where you can go to really clear your head.
