Stretching from the Scottish Borders to Hadrian’s Wall, with not just one, but two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and a National Park. With a visit to Northumberland, you could be walking along vast expanses of dune-fringed beaches, climbing our dramatic hills and taking in glorious sweeps of valleys or just revelling in the wide-open spaces.

Discover the resilient and independent spirit of Northumberland, with its turbulent, historic past. You can explore many dramatic castles; catapulted back 2,000 years along Hadrian’s Wall and marvel at the birthplace of the 8th-Century Lindisfarne Gospels on Holy Island.
