Northumberland
Holidays in Northumberland
A wonderful untamed region of wide beaches, big skies, castles, coastal paths and ancient stories.
We’ll help you experience Northumberland by timing the tides for Holy Island, knowing when Bamburgh Castle looks its best from the beach, where to pause for Craster kippers, and how to bring Hadrian’s Wall to life beyond the history books.
With Active England, you’ll see Northumberland actively and effortlessly – walking, cycling or the best Northumberland routes, stays, luggage and support all taken care of.
Why choose Active England for Northumberland?
See it actively
Northumberland is the ideal fit for adventure travel. Never-ending hiking or biking routes with views, history and heritage around every corner.
England's wilderness
This is one of England’s most atmospheric (and rural) regions. The least densely populated county, Northumberland, has a sense of space or wilderness that feels completely different from the Cotswolds or Devon & Cornwall.
Local expertise, not just local scenery
With extraordinary local guides, you’ll get the details that make the day sing. When to cross to Holy Island, the best view from Hadrian’s Wall and plans B, C and D if the weather’s not playing ball.
History brought to life
From Vindolanda and Cragside to Alnwick, Northumberland has had a storied history. We’ll hike or bike in the landscapes which shaped them.
Everything sorted
Routes, accommodation, luggage transfers, maps, GPS and support - all organised, so you can enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics
Travel your way
