Visit Northumberland

Like little lambs opening their eyes for the first time, Northumberland comes to life in spring! Many attractions dust off their cobwebs after closing for winter and the county (literally) blossoms as its wildlife is second to none.

Admire blazing sunrises, discover hidden bays, and relish superb seafood on our pristine coastline. Spot our castles standing guard along our dramatic shoreline, and explore more than 30 miles of barely-trodden beaches.

Keep an eye on this page for our fantastic competitions, which we regularly have on offer for you to enter for free. You could win a short break or a holiday - new competitions are added often so please keep checking the page.

Make the most of Northumberland this spring! Attend our fun events, enjoy some local seasonal produce at any of our food and drink markets, or relax and enjoy yourself in a local pub or restaurant. There’ll be something for everyone!

Adorable puffins, lazing seals, magical dolphins and rare ospreys are just some of the array of wildlife in Northumberland. Go wild goat spotting in the Cheviots, take wildlife boat trips and tiptoe through forests to find deer peeking from the trees.

From family-run B&Bs, hotels, and self-catering cottages in the countryside, Northumberland has accommodation for everyone. With our last minute deals on our late availability noticeboard, you can find the perfect place for you at a lower price.

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is a must-visit, but you must check safe crossing times before visiting. Linked to the mainland by a causeway which is cut off twice daily by fast incoming tides, it is vital to check safe crossing times before crossing the causeway.
