Welcome to Northumberland

Welcome to Northumberland, a magical place filled with ancient castles, golden sand beaches, rolling hills, rugged moorland and friendly little market towns.

Northumberland is home to England’s least visited national park, meaning you can escape into the hills and avoid the crowds even during busy holiday periods.

There are also two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty waiting to be discovered, the Northumberland Coast with its golden sand beaches and awesome castles, and the North Pennines with its heather covered hills and extraordinary wildlife.

If that’s not enough, there is also Kielder Water & Forest Park, great for family holidays and outdoor activities.

The vast majority of the remaining sections of Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site can be found in Northumberland, with five of the eight excavated forts and endless stretches of unbroken wall rising and falling over dramatic landscapes.

This website features more accommodation in Northumberland than any other, with everything from cottages in Northumberland National Park and hotels near Hadrian’s Wall to bed & breakfasts on the Northumberland coast and budget caravan sites close to our towns.

You will also find details of all the attractions in Northumberland including our awesome castles and exotic gardens, as well as information on all of our outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, wildlife watching and golf.
