Episode two of Julie Walters’ enjoyable travelogue takes her along the beautiful East Coast line, from Newcastle to Edinburgh.

The scenery is spectacular, but it’s Julie’s interaction with folk she meets along the way – from couples on a caravan site perilously perched on a cliff edge to a pair of beachcombers – that makes this an engaging series.

This week’s itinerary includes the market town of Alnwick, where the former station has been turned into a beautiful bookshop.
