Queens Cave Gorge

On Tuesday I finished a meeting in Hexham sooner than I anticipated so I decided to take advantage of the glorious afternoon and walk along the Queens Cave Gorge from Dipton Mill.  I’ve never investigated this legendary place before although it’s been on my “must visit” list for some time. The gorge was truly beautiful with the burn singing merrily in the bottom as sunlight dappled the steep, tree lined walls. And what if the legend is false? There’s a beautiful romanticism about the fugitive Queen Margaret of Anjou hiding from her pursuers in such an enchanting and captivating place.
