Visit Northumberland

Discover every corner of Northumberland, where outstanding coastline and countryside are always close by, wherever you find yourself. Hit the road or the cycling route, step into your hiking boots or your wetsuit, and get lost in our endless landscapes.

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.

There’s a lot to be excited about when May comes around; the sun tends to linger for longer, there are a couple of bank holidays to look forward to and, most importantly, it’s National Walking Month.

Adorable puffins, lazing seals, magical dolphins and rare ospreys are just some of the array of wildlife in Northumberland. Go wild goat spotting in the Cheviots, take wildlife boat trips and tiptoe through forests to find deer peeking from the trees.
