Penshaw Monument + Finchale Abbey explorations

Today I visit both Penshaw Monument near Sunderland - sat up on top of a hill above Herrington Park, before leaving Tyne and Wear and driving across to County Durham to explore English Heritage's Finchale Priory, AKA
Finchale Abbey. I have fond memories of visiting Penshaw Monument as a child and it was interesting to see just how much has stayed the same, as well as modern updates too. I'll explore both the Finchale Abbey history as well as the amenities and beautiful nature surrounding the site.
