DISCOVER NORTHERN BRITAIN

Explore What We Do

Small group tours

Travel with no more than 14 guests on a fixed departure shaped by local guiding, well-paced days and experiences chosen for the region – not simply its best-known sights.

Tailor-made

Our team researches and designs your itinerary, bringing together accommodation, transport, guiding and experiences into one coherent journey.

Travel trade & groups

With everything arranged and your itinerary at hand, you travel knowing our team remains available throughout your journey.

Local by design

Why Northern Secrets?

Our journeys are designed from the North of England by a team that understands not only what is worth seeing, but how places connect, when to visit, who to work with and when taking the slower road creates the better day.

Rooted in the North

First-hand regional knowledge rather than planning Britain from afar.

Relationships that open doors

We work directly with regional guides, historians, curators, producers, hoteliers and specialist hosts—bringing the right people into each journey.

Designed and delivered by us

The same team that develops your itinerary coordinates the accommodation, transport, guiding and visits, then remains available while you travel.

Anna of Northern Secrets took our family information and put together a tour for us. She beautifully brought the city of Newcastle and our family history alive in our tour of the city! I learned so much and had a great time. Would highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you Anna!

I did two tours, one of Hadrian's Wall, and one specially created for me, which followed the life story of a 19th century serial killer (for a book I'm working on). I kept congratulating myself on being smart enough to pick this tour company. The trips werebeautifully researched, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. The guide, Anna Unger, was thoughtful, smart and just good company. Beautiful country, terrific guide, great experience start to finish.

The best tour company I have ever met. Very professional. Very highly recommended.

Fran was a wonderful tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about the history in the area and even took some of our stop requests into account enjoying the history of a native wood engraver. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return to the Northumberland area! :). It's gorgeous and so rich with history! We loved every minute!
