WALKING HOLIDAYS IN NORTHUMBERLAND
There’s lots to love in England's northernmost county: gloriously intact churches, ruined fortresses, and all manner of Roman, Viking and Anglo-Saxon relics. It’s a region that plays up to its good looks; think wide-open spaces, vast golden beaches, enchanting forests, and unspoilt shorelines. And then, of course, there’s Hadrian’s Wall – the legendary pile of stones that marked the frontier of the Roman empire for nearly 300 years.
The Northumberland Coast Path is a 62-mile stretch that connects the village of Cresswell in the south to the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in the north. Our Northumberland walking holidays showcase the very best of this magnificent trail.

What to see in Northumberland
Northumberland National Park is packed full of natural beauty and historic sights, inviting you to explore its unspoiled beauty. A haven for walkers, there are trails weaving through the serene landscapes, from the circular River Aln route that features, sand dunes and coastal views, to the summit of the captivating Simonside Hills, where stirring views of the Cheviot Hills await, while Hadrian's Wall stands as a dramatic reminder of Northumberland's storied past.
Another must-visit destination is the market town of Alnwick, home to the iconic Alnwick Castle, the ancestral seat of the 12th Duke of Northumberland. Alnwick offers a wealth of experiences, from browsing charming second-hand bookshops to exploring the Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery, where local history comes alive.
