What should we do on our trip to Northumberland?
Simon Calder answers your questions on trips up North, ongoing rail strikes, navigating India’s e-visa system, and why flying was so much better in the 1970s
Q Next month my partner and I are driving from Buckinghamshire to Otterburn in Northumberland to attend a wedding. As neither of us knows that part of England, we are planning to spend a few days touring the area and staying in different locations. Do you have any suggestions as to where we should visit and your recommendations for accommodation?

A What a fine prospect. Otterburn is almost plumb in the middle of Northumberland, and whether you head north, east, south or west from there you really can’t go wrong. My recommendation is almost a full circuit that will initially take you into Scotland and leave you pointing south on the A1.
