Treasures of Northumberland

Northumberland is a region filled with dramatic landscapes, from Hadrian's Wall, which once guarded the northern Roman frontier, to enchanting castles and miles of heritage coastline. You can travel along George Wade's 'Military Road,' following the path of Hadrian's Wall to Chesters Roman Fort. Chesters is the best-preserved Roman cavalry fort in Britain. A highlight of the area is Hexham, where you can stroll along the charming Beaumont Street. In the picturesque cobbled market town of Alnwick, there are plenty of attractions to explore, including broomsticks, bookshops, treehouses, cherry blossoms, jousts, and dragons. Be sure to visit the magical Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden. Lastly, don't miss the opportunity to experience the bustling historic heritage coast, including a visit to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
