Doddington Moor

With DS away on a play date DH and I took Daisy up into the hills, just 5-10 minutes drive from our front door.

Northumberland is aptly named
”Land of the Far Horizons”

The bluebells were truly stunning. 
A wonderful surprise hidden in the bracken.

We vowed to do more of this hillfort and stone spotting very SOON.
