St Mary's Church, Gosforth

Highlight • Historical Site

The tallest Viking-era cross in England adorns the churchyard of St Mary's, Gosforth. Other objects of intrigue within the church are a Chinese bell and two cannonballs, as well as hogback tombstones, also thought to be from the Viking era.

Opens at 9:30, we had a lovely slap up breakfast before our 48km ride. We had a very friendly service and we regretted not trying all the cakes on the counter... A must visit for all times of the day.
