Boasting both a National Park and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the form of its coastline, Northumberland has to be one of the most beautiful counties in England.

Its winning combination of both coast and country makes it one of the best-loved tourist destinations in the UK. Once part of the historic kingdom of Northumbria, much history can be seen across the county even today, from its mighty castles to the remnants of Hadrian’s Wall. There are also many wonderful towns and villages to explore, from Berwick-upon-Tweed, England’s most northerly, to seaside towns such as Bamburgh, which line the pretty coast. Wherever you choose to wander, you'll be wanting to return to our Northumberland holiday cottages again and again.
