Cherryburn is a cottage in Mickley, Northumberland, England, which was the birthplace of Thomas Bewick, an English wood engraver and ornithologist. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1991 and is now open to the public.
I called in on my Ovingham to Bywell walk, which was part 5 of my Walking the River Tyne Westwards Project, and it was shut for the day so I was restricted to photos of the outside. One day I will make it back for a proper visit.

ReplyDeleteI loved the Aesop/Bewick link. Great new post, too. The pig 'print' we bought at Cherryburn can be viewed here....
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteCoastcard: I've put the link on the main page, thanks again.
My grandparents lived at Cherryburn cottages in the 1960s. Many happy memories of the lovely views.
