Road trip in England.
It’s our first time flying in and out of Manchester Airport. Also our first time flying with Qatar. We usually fly to Newcastle or Heathrow via Emirates. I’m not sure will I use this airport next trip. It depends pretty much on the price of the flight tickets hahaha… I’ve posted my experience of the airport on my Instagram.
So, this marks the end of my summer 2024 UK trip. Finally… Hahaha! Whether will I go again this year, I’m not sure yet.
Almost forgot to share this. We went to Tomahawk Cocktail Bar & Steakhouse in Yarm for dinner one of those evenings. It’s our first time dining here. It’s dubbed the best steakhouse in Yarm. Yes, it is not bad. At least the best steak I had so far in the UK. Price wise, well… For us Malaysians… If you go and convert to MYR… It’s really NOT CHEAP! Hahaha! Read my quick review below.
Anyway, one more post to go to complete this summer 2024 UK road trip post.
The day before we go back to Malaysia, we went to Saltburn-by-the-Sea (commonly referred to as Saltburn) for a visit and also to have lunch there. We went in the late morning. The sun was very bright but the wind from the sea was really chilly. People were in their summer clothes but I was all wrapped up like a dumpling hahaha!
Time flies when we’re having fun. After lunch, we went back to pack for the next day flight.
Kirkleatham Museum (Kirkleatham, Redcar TS10 5NW, United Kingdom) is where you can learn about the history of Borough of Redcar & Cleveland. We went there on a Sunday during the summer holiday. It was quite busy. Here’s the compilation of my posts that I did on my Instagram. Also, I’ve uploaded some videos I’ve taken at the Owl Centre.
The museum is housed in a magnificent 1709 Queen Anne building built by Cholmley Turner. It used to be a Free School for Boys. The museum was opened on 5th October 1981. The admission is free.
After visiting the museum, we went over to the Owl Centre. It was established in 1990. Fun fact, it’s UK’s oldest established Owl Centre. Aside from that, it’s the only Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre specializes in treating hundreds of wildlife casualties each year in the area.
You’ll have to pay for the entrance. If you would like to go out and return on the same day, just get your hand stamped and you can re-enter without paying.
Few more posts to go to complete this year’s UK summer holiday trip.
How time flies!?! It’s 2025 in a few days time. Wishing you a happy new year in advance.
Part 1 of my 4D3N Stratford-Upon-Avon stay can be found here.
Staying for 4 days and 3 nights is not too long or too short. The duration is just nice. It should be enough for you to cover the town on foot. No harm to visit the museum if you want. You’ll get to learn a lot about William Shakespeare. You can also find many famous quotes of his engraved around the town. Of course, lots of souvenirs and even books to buy too.
That’s about it. Time to bit farewell to this interesting town. There are few more attractions that we went to when we’re back to the north. Stay tuned for the posts.
