The four seasons in Northumberland

As many of our attractions start to dust off their cobwebs after a winter of hibernation, our rich and varied wildlife begins to blossom and burst into life. Visit castles surrounded by daffodils, admire Japanese Taihaku cherry blossoms, and the best time to see freshly-hatched pufflings on our beautiful islands. If you're planning on visiting some of our attractions, please check their website for opening dates and times.

Life’s a beach when you spend summer in Northumberland. We have 30 miles of sweeping coastline playing host to hidden bays, brightly painted beach huts, and fantastic summer holiday events. Breathe in the sea air, stroll through glorious countryside, and find a perfect place to watch the sun set over amazing scenery.

Enjoy gold-tier dark skies, golden landscapes and cosy B&Bs in Northumberland. As the temperature drops, expect to see frost-tipped landscapes, and with the long, dark nights approaching it's time to experience some incredible stargazing opportunities. Weather in Northumberland can be unpredictable so if you're heading out always check the local forecast.

Wrap up warm and enjoy frosty walks, snowfall, food festivals, and fantastic Christmas markets, all part of Northumberland’s wintry charm. Fairy lights line the cobbled streets and sparkling frost highlights the already staggering landscapes. Meet Father Christmas, see in the New Year, and relax in your cosy accommodation.
