On a disused railway track at the edge of Northumberland National Park, a railway carriage stands, its brake lights glowing red.
However, the former rail parcel van isn't a relic of the form Wannie line, which once ran from Morpeth to Reedsmouth, but another of the county's unique accommodation options. The centrepiece of The Wannies Retreat in West Woodburn, it is owned by farmers Dave and Annabel Stanners and their unusual offering is about to be given a bigger platform than ever before.
It is set to feature in the second series of Robson Green's Weekend Escapes, after the Hexham-born star announced he'd been filming there earlier in June alongside Angie Lonsdale. They stayed in the carriage and also had a perfume workshop from its viewing platform with Michelle from Scentica Studio.
