You’ll find travelling around Northumberland easy, whether you explore with or without a car, thanks to well-thought out bus and train services in operation.

The clue is in the name of the Coast and Castles Cycle Route, which scales Northumberland’s magnificent, castle-scattered coastline. The idyllic, 192 mile route stretches from Newcastle to Edinburgh, and 85 miles of it lie in Northumberland.

The region that straddles the border of England and Scotland is a beautiful one. Northumberland on the English side and the Scottish Borders on the Scots are two halves of one extraordinarily attractive area, a blend of stunning landscapes, historical landmarks, and ancient ruins, as well as plenty of Scottish and Northern English charm.

A hilarious summer romp for the whole family.

Northumberland has inspired artists, filmmakers, and even William Shakespeare! Get yourself down to a gallery, castle, and even adventure trails to allow you, your family and friends, to be inspired by our incredible county.

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.

Where else can you find a puffin festival, a fire festival, and a cavalcade of 150 horses and riders setting off to ‘ride the bounds’? Whatever you’re looking for, Northumberland holds year-round events for families, foodies, and festival-lovers.

This isn’t a budget version of an Enid Blyton classic, just the two ‘Retirement Ramblers’ having a Northumberland holiday.
