You need to be either fit or lazy - no half measures. It is a big site and although the free bus & tram service is good, on busy days quite big queues form at the tram stops. Whenever I go, I walk everywhere and suffer the next day. We only live 10 miles from it but every time we go there have been changes. The horse drawn fish & chip van is due for opening in June. Hetton Prize Silver Band room has recently been removed to Beamish for re-erection. Dunrobin is on its way back from Canada and should be at Beamish after restoration. Every time I go there is more to see.

Excellent stuff, the grounds of Dunrobin Castle is where I asked my fiancée to marry me last year
