Happy International Tourist guide day!
Although we, Blue Badge Tourist Guides, might not be able to do much actual guiding at the moment we can still celebrate the day by sharing stories of guides around the UK. Please follow the hashtag #internationaltouristguideday!

What an amazing shot of #DurhamCathedral, reposted from @stevielandscapes It is almost 1000 years old and was built to house the relics of St Cuthbert.
The American author Bill Bryson visited and called it the
'best little Cathedral on planet Earth '

Tune in tonight (14 Jan) as he explores the length of one of the largest remnants of the Roman Empire - an 80-mile journey coast-to-coast.

#BarnardCastle has had plenty of famous visitors-Richard III Oliver Cromwell #JohnWesley #CharlesDickens
But perhaps the most notorious visitor will be a more recent one- a quick thinking local has erected a very special Blue Plaque this week #DominicCummngs

Same scene today- Robert Stephenson's High Level Bridge spans the Tyne Gorge- built to carry the railway link towards Scotland, the canny Geordies incorporated a second level for vehicles and pedestrians with a toll.
It's Grade I listed, still used today- my favourite bridge!

Today, May 6th 1840, the Penny Black postage stamp was introduced, radically reforming the British postal system.
Why dont you send someone a letter or a postcard today to let them know you are thinking about them ?
