Visit Northumberland

Like little lambs opening their eyes for the first time, Northumberland comes to life in spring! Many attractions dust off their cobwebs after closing for winter and the county (literally) blossoms as its wildlife is second to none.

Keep an eye on this page for our fantastic competitions, which we regularly have on offer for you to enter for free. You could win a short break or a holiday - new competitions are added often so please keep checking the page.

It's a new year and the perfect time to take another look at that Northumberland bucketlist that got long forgotten in the blur that was 2021. Hike to that waterfall you've always wanted to see, book that stargazing experience you've been eyeing up for months, or visit that mind blowing castle everyone's been talking about. 

Northumberland is one big bundle of paths and routes just waiting to be explored. There's ample opportunities to amble across the county, miles of stunning coastline to wander along, picturesque National Park trails to follow, and a wealth of fascinating history to discover.

You’ll never be short of something to keep you busy on a bank holiday weekend in Northumberland. Spend your long weekend discovering historic towns, attending exciting events, having endless experiences, and exploring the Northumberland coast and countryside landscapes.

Make the most of Northumberland this spring! Attend our fun events, enjoy some local seasonal produce at any of our food and drink markets, or relax and enjoy yourself in a local pub or restaurant. There’ll be something for everyone!

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is a must-visit, but you must check safe crossing times before visiting. Linked to the mainland by a causeway which is cut off twice daily by fast incoming tides, it is vital to check safe crossing times before crossing the causeway.
