What to see in Northumbria
The 400 square mile Northumberland National Park is one of the most peaceful, remote places in England. With endless walks across moorlands and hills, it stretches south from the Cheviot Hills, through the Simonside Hills, to the crags of Whin Sill, where it engulfs a section of the historic Hadrian’s Wall, built by the Romans to mark the northern limit of their empire.
The Pennine Way was the country’s first official long-distance path and is still the longest. At 268 miles, it stretches from the Peak National Park to the border. The coastline is not to be forgotten, with mile upon mile of deserted, sandy beaches with resorts that still have an old-fashioned feel to them, such as Whitley Bay, South Shields and Seaton Carew.
The majestic castles of Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh can be seen for miles along the Northumberland coast. Surrounded on three sides by the river Wear, the small, historic city of Durham is dominated by England’s greatest Norman Cathedral. With cobbled medieval streets and restricted car access, it is a popular place with visitors. Further north is the bustling city of Newcastle. Home to an array of cosmopolitan restaurants and bars, music venues, and fabulous architecture, it also boasts a lively nightlife.
