On the extensive sand dunes of the North Gare, south of Seaton Carew and near where the River Tees meets the North Sea.
Part of the Teesmouth National Nature Reserve and it is Co Durham's most southerly stretch of coast.

A view across a buttercup meadow to Durham's crowning glory in NE England, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Durham Cathedral. Look closely, just left of the cathedral's west towers, you might be able to make out Penshaw Hill and Monument.

Sunday afternoon at Rainton Meadows in Houghton-le-Spring, NE England.
Somewhat overcast, although the sunshine and blue skies returned by the time I was back home.

Summer by the sea – red valerian growing in the dunes on the seafront of my local stretch of coast at Seaburn, Sunderland in NE England as the season of spring gives way to summer.

This weekend sees the 193rd Durham Regatta taking place in NE England and what a great backdrop it enjoys!
The regatta dates back to 1834, making it the second oldest regatta in England.

This time two years ago on a perfect summer-like day, visited this perfect English idyll.
The Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter, on the River Eye in Gloucestershire, which I would place as one of my all-time favourite locations.

Early June and one of the best laburnum shows around – this annual blooming 'tunnel' has been created in the gardens of Grade I listed Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland.
The property is now owned by the National Trust.

Kisdon Force, near Keld in Upper Swaledale, part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Situated on both the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast long distance paths, I was very lucky to have it all to myself on this visit.

Thankyou Peter!
OS maps have this feature on the beach at Ryhope, Sunderland in NE England marked as 'Jane Jiveson's Rock'.
Unable to find anybody who ever lived in the UK with that name – the surname 'Jiveson', it seems, is extremely rare!
