Lisvane House, Grosmont

We went to The Gallery for tea and scones. Then up to Lisvane, a grand old Victorian house on the hill. Our accommodation for the night.

Later the Wilsons and I headed off to Egton in a taxi for dinner at the Wheatsheaf Inn. Great atmosphere with very friendly people and fantastic food.

In deference to the many grouse we saw on the track I had grouse breast with wild mushrooms, and juniper berries for dinner. It was delicious. Quite gamey but not too strong.

Grosmont

And the Hogwarts train again

Grosmont and the Hogwarts train

We arrived in Grosmont just as the railway crossing gates closed. We were lucky enough to see the train - the Hogwarts Express set out for Whitby.

The River Esk

Egton Bridge

We made our way to Egton Bridge. A stunning small town with a magnificent manor. We then tok the old tollroad to Grosmont, passing the former Toll House on the way. Beautiful scenery all the way.
