- coincidently,just got back from a very pleasant afternoon tea with my good lady at the Langley Castle which is near to Alston and about 25 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne.
The road from there to Alston and on to Penrith is fantastic - much beloved of bikers!
Hadrian's Wall and lots of driving roads quite nearby too - the coast up to Alnwick Castle or inland if you prefer.
The hotel is not cheap ( afternoon tea was £40 for two ) but the setting and ambience is superb.Lots of different rooms - in the Castle or v. nice annex and secure parking for the car.An added benefit is the very photogenic backdrop for photographing your Morgan....
