A MECCA FOR WILDLIFE
The Northumberland coastline has to be one of the most spectacular in Britain – golden sandy beaches, an array of huge ancient castles, an abundance of wildlife including one of the largest puffin colonies in the country. Experience a small boat ride to the remote Farne Islands and get up-close to some magnificent birds, seals and, with a bit of luck, whales and dolphins.
Discover the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, cradle of English Christianity and the homes of the famous Celtic saints.
Or why not visit Bamburgh, former capital of the Kingdom of Northumbria? Bamburgh Castle, owned by the famous Armstrong family, has stood guard above the spectacular Northumberland coastline for over 1,400 years and is today one of the largest inhabited castles in the country.

A family adventure awaits in one of the many beautiful market towns of Northumberland. Alnwick Castle is the largest inhabited castle outside Windsor!
The castle has been seen throughout the world in many Hollywood blockbusters such as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Transformers: The Last Knight or, probably most famously, as Hogwarts in the initial two Harry Potter movies. It is also known as Brancaster Castle to any Downton Abbey fan.
The contemporary Alnwick Gardens feature one of the largest treehouses in the world as well as a stunning water cascade as its centrepiece.
