Visit Northumberland

There’s a chill in the air, crunchy leaves lie underfoot, and you’re having unavoidable hot chocolate cravings. It can only mean one thing: it’s officially autumn, so pack your woollies and let Northumberland leaf a smile on your face.

This autumn, we're counting down to 16th November, 25 years since Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone first brought Alnwick Castle's Outer Bailey to the big screen. Step into the magic for yourself.

Once you stay in Northumberland, you’ll never want to leave. From homely to high-end, family-friendly to romantic, and dog friendly to downright cosy, come and sleep beneath the stars, warm your toes by an open fire, or curl up in a cosy log cabin.

Experience Northumberland’s amazing food scene with self-guided trails across the county. Each with five stops, you can choose from wild countryside eats, coastal catches or market town treats. Every itinerary features only Taste of Northumberland businesses, so you can be assured you are enjoying the best local ingredients.

Make the most of Northumberland this Autumn! 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.

Spend your holiday in our idyllic towns and villages and pick from tiny villages perched on staggering stretches of coastline, bustling market towns boasting marvellous castles, and remote, countryside villages that hold traditional county shows.

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.
