Spring in Northumberland

As many of our attractions start to dust off their cobwebs after a winter of hibernation, our rich and varied wildlife begins to blossom and burst into life. Visit castles surrounded by daffodils, admire Japanese Taihaku cherry blossoms, and the best time to see freshly-hatched pufflings on our beautiful islands. If you're planning on visiting some of our attractions, please check their website for opening dates and times.
