Northumberland

If you are looking to discover what Northumberland has to offer and would like to explore the 'hidden gems'  - well, this is where you can start...

Many view Northumberland as the ‘land' between Scotland and England. It has a unique identity and is one of the least-populated areas of the UK - there are no cities, many folk don't know where it is and yet it contains some of Britain's most iconic landscape. Life tends to run at a slightly different pace in Northumberland and not surprisingly, for those 'in the know', it is seen to be the perfect 'getaway destination'.

The purpose of this website is to reveal some of those often difficult to find treasures that Northumberland has in abundance. It is intentionally selective - only guiding visitors to destinations and activities that are considered to be particularly deserving of wider attention.
