Thanks it looks great on the website and DS liked that it is one of the largest medeval castles in Britain.

yes we live very near and it's beautiful. You won't regret it

where are your parents YG? I'm in Darlo.

Skribble, have you visited Whitby in north yorks? Well worth a visit if you're going to that area and not too far a drive from Raby.

YG give me a shout and we'll have a night out I was out a couple of weeks ago and almost got on the bucking bronco in Crazy Jacks And that's me sober

Thanks for suggesting Whitby, we plan a day to beamish, perhaps Alnwick castle and rest of the time relaxing, walking and eating. I normally fill everyday with places to visit, but decided I will try to relax more rather than trying to orgainse everyone . Whitby might get added, what is there to do there?

Whitby is a fishing village famous for Bram stoker basing Dracula on there. Apparently Dracula is buried there...ooooooooo It's just so beautiful. May have been where Captain cook set voyage too?

Don't know if kids would be impressed with dracula references unless everyone was walking about with capes and big teeth .

It won best seaside resort in UK or at least England

they have 2 goth weekends a year so you'd see plenty of people in dark dress then Goths also tend to go halloween weekend.

There is a dracula experience.

Thnks great to have loads of info. I will have to book the place tomorrow or we might end up in PIL's caravan .
