Historical hikes and unbeatable views

Pick a National Park walking route and take in astounding views and almost incomprehensible historic sites. Hike along Hadrian's Wall, our very own rolling stones that represent thousands of years of history, including short walks from one Roman fort to the next, as well as longer walking routes including the 210 mile Ravenber Way Coast to Coast walk. From Alnwick to Bamburgh, to Holy Island, Seahouses and Rothbury, Northumberland offers some of the most beautiful and dramatic scenery for you to enjoy.
