Visit Northumberland

It's 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. 

Dust off your Christmas jumpers, woolly hats and chunky scarves; it’s time to get into the festive spirit. Wrap your hands around a steaming cup of mulled wine at Christmas Markets and experience a New Year’s Eve fire festival in Northumberland.

There’s a chill in the air, crunchy leaves lie underfoot, and you’re having unavoidable hot chocolate cravings. It can only mean one thing: it’s officially autumn, so pack your woollies and let Northumberland leaf a smile on your face.

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 safe to say that Northumberland is the best place to stargaze in the UK. 572 square miles of the county have been awarded Gold Tier status for their pristine dark skies, and our International Dark Sky Park is the largest in the UK. So get ready for a star-studded show.

Make the most of Northumberland this Autumn! 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!

From family-run B&Bs, hotels, and self-catering cottages in the countryside, Northumberland has accommodation for everyone. With our last minute deals on our late availability noticeboard, you can find the perfect place for you at a lower price.

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.
