Northumberland reaches up to the Scottish borders and down to the south of the powerhouse of Newcastle and it is studded with some of the most stunning and unique places to visit in the United Kingdom. Whether you’re seeking a romantic bed and breakfast weekend break or simply looking for a little luxury, Northumberland has a host of stately homes and castles to enjoy during your break. Alnwick Castle, featured in the Harry Potter films, is as appealing to children as it is to heritage fans. For those who want a true taste of coastal wilderness, then a day at Bambergh Island will hit the spot.
