Boldon - Down Your Way

Pupils at Boldon School visited Powburn in November last year. In spite of really wet weather they still managed to have an amazing weekend with a full Saturday visit to Cragside followed by toasting marshmallows while singing around the blazing campfire and they had the wonderful experience of seeing the Supermoon in all its glory. After archery and other activities students sat down to a full Sunday lunch before heading back home.
