Uncrowded, unspoilt, untamed
Northumberland is perfect for that get-away-from-it-all feeling - a region full of history, culture and raw beauty that never seems too busy, or in a hurry. Its National Park and 2 Areas of Outstanding Beauty – the coastline and North Pennines - remain uncrowded throughout the summer. Witness to centuries of border conflict, are Hadrian’s Wall, excavated Roman Forts, and more castles than any other county – Alnwick, Walkworth, Dunstanburgh and Bamborough are “must see” examples. The rugged coastline has over 60 miles of stunning coastal path, and is punctured by golden beaches, out-of-the-way villages, and not forgetting, the legendary Holy Island of Lindisfarne and monastery. Whilst inland there’s much to explore, from Keilder Water and Forest Park Outdoor Centres, to the beautiful Cheviot Hills.
