Northumberland is a region of sweeping beaches, mighty castles, historic landscapes and atmospheric countryside, making it one of Britain’s most rewarding areas to explore.

 

A highlight of the tour is a visit to Bamburgh Castle, an ancient fortress standing proudly above the coast with spectacular views across the sands and surrounding landscape.

 

We also include entrance to Alnwick Castle Gardens, where impressive planting, water features and beautifully designed spaces create one of the region’s most popular garden attractions.

 

During your stay, visit Cragside House and Gardens, the extraordinary former home of inventor and industrialist William Armstrong. Set within beautiful grounds, this remarkable Victorian country house is known for its innovation, character and dramatic Northumberland setting.
