(Spookily, I've just had an email from the walking holiday company I use a lot that included a special offer for the Northumberland coast and one of the walks visits Dunstanburgh. I've booked it, obviously!)

Does the walking trip include
Meldon?
Meldon is a village in Northumberland, England. It lies to the west of Morpeth. The population of Meldon as taken at the 2001 Census was 162, increasing to 242 at the 2011 Census.

(I don't know where this is leading, but here goes.)
Yes, Meldon is on our way. So is Onn, High
We also pass through
Onneley
in Staffordshire.

Any chance it's leading to
Eyam
in Derbyshire?
(I have been to Lyme Regis. As a big Jane Austen fan I had to go and walk along the Cobb. The walks on my trip to Northumberland are further north than Meldon. It's only a weekend, one day is along the coast as previously mentioned and the other in the Cheviot Hills.)

Or how 'bout
Ambergate
which used to be called Toadmoor. No castles there, but it is within the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage site, and is notable for its railway heritage and telephone exchange.

You used to be able to get a good strong cup of

at a railway stop.

Tea was around long before railway stops.
Use either wordhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea
An
early
credible record of tea drinking dates to the third century AD, in a medical text written by Chinese physician Hua Tuo. It was popularised as a recreational drink during the Chinese Tang dynasty, and tea drinking subsequently spread to other
East
Asian countries. Portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to Europe during the 16th century. During the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among the English, who started to plant tea on a large scale in British India.

I don't drink tea because I have
lyssophobia
which is a fear of drinking liquids, despite thirst due to spasm of the throat muscles. (Just joking)
I believe back in the 1774s American tea tasted like salty water.

If the doctor was

The earliest known Greek herbals came from Theophrastus of
Eresos
who, in the 4th century BCE, wrote in Greek Historia Plantarum, from Diocles of Carystus who wrote during the 3rd century BCE, and from Krateuas who wrote in the 1st century BCE. Only a few fragments of these works have survived intact, but from what remains, scholars noted overlap with the Egyptian herbals.

But if searching near
