Welcome to England’s northernmost county, where you’ll find serene stretches of coastline and some of the most unspoilt countryside you’ve ever seen.

The park boasts seven lakes, remnants of a castle and great facilities and activities, all close to the wild Northumberland coast.
As England’s least crowded area, Northumberland really is the epitome of peace and quiet, so much so that Northumberland National Park covers a huge area spanning 25% of the entire county.
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is accessed by a causeway that reveals itself when the tide is low, and the Farne Islands are a sanctuary to wildlife, featuring grey seals and puffins.
Hadrian’s Wall is a physical reminder of the historic border between Roman England and Celtic Caledonia. The UNESCO World Heritage Site stretches for a remarkable 73 miles from coast to coast.
Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and Lindisfarne Castle all overlook the Northumberland coast, with the unspoilt sandy beaches just adding to the picturesque backdrop.
Northumberland National Park covers a quarter of the whole county, stretching from the Scottish border. Visit Kielder Water and Forest Park, the largest man-made lake in northern Europe. It's teeming with wildlife, outdoor activities and events. Or take a bit of a detour to Hadrian's Wall – this landmark of Roman Britain is truly legendary.
For film fans, it might well be obligatory to visit Alnwick Castle. Best known as Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films, it also starred in big movies like Elizabeth and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, not to mention a guest role in TV's Downton Abbey. Then if that's whetted your appetite for stately homes, Bamburgh Castle and Berwick Barracks are waiting for you.
There are numerous famous castles in the area to explore. My personal favourite is Dunstanburgh Castle. Take a walk along the coast on the way to visiting! On your way back head to Craster Arms for a lovely lunch.
Take a trip on the Heatherslaw Light Railway for a short but awe-inspiring journey from Ford to Etal. When you reach Etal, visit the castle and pop in for a nice treat at the cafe or pub.
