Walking on the coast of Northumbria
Based in Bamburgh, our group of 10-plus-guide Walking Women were introduced to the region by learning about the local heroine, Grace Darling. In 1838, at age 22, she and her father rowed out from their lighthouse and rescued several survivors from a shipwreck.

For the flying car scene, something went wrong with guy operating the crane the car was attached to and he flung the car into a huge bush. The hole the car made in the bush hasn't fully grown back yet. Oops! The Duke just grit his teeth and kindly shrugged it off. After going in every little room we could, we took a stroll outside the castle over the Lion ...
