Northumberland activities

There is so much to do in Northumberland. Fans of the great outdoors will love our walking and cycling routes. If you love nature be sure to come birdwatching and wildlife watching with us. We have plenty of adventure activities for the thrill-seekers among you. At the other end of the scale, if all you want is a peaceful luxury spa day, Northumberland has all you need for relaxation and tranquillity.

What to do in Northumberland

Come to Northumberland and you'll never be short of things to do. In fact, you'll have trouble fitting it all in.

Whether it's walking along our fabulous stretches of sandy beaches - perhaps in the shadow of an historic castle like Dunstanburgh or Bamburgh - or mountain biking at break neck speed in Kielder Water & Forest Park, there really is something for everyone.

Why not be adventurous and swing through the trees at Go Ape at Matfen Hall or try your hand at the latest craze: coasteering!

You can follow in the footsteps of Roman soldiers along our Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site, horse ride in the Cheviot Hills or along one of our beaches and see some stunning and rare wildlife in Northumberland National Park.

And if you like nothing better than a round of golf we've championship standard courses that lie just yards from the North Sea and a selection of course, game and sea fishing to test everyone from beginner to expert.
