There's nothing that food won't fix

Sample smoked kippers on the coastline at Craster, taste tea at the home of Earl Grey himself at Howick Hall, shell out on exquisite seafood at one of the region’s best restaurants and sip on Mead fit for monks on Lindisfarne Island in Northumberland.

Here, eggs can be bought fresh from farmers’ markets, bread is made with flour ground in Northumberland’s oldest working water mill, and ice cream that’s made on an award-winning local dairy farm. As you explore the region you can really get a taste for the local area and its produce.
