When you’re England’s least densely populated county, it’s fair to say you have scenery in abundance. Northumberland has that and much more. A crisp coastline looks out to the North Sea in this north-eastern corner of England. The peaceful surroundings that play host to you on a present-day visit here mask the turbulent history the county’s land experienced as the frontier of Scotland and England. The remnants of this are seen in the abundance of castles and forts that dot the landscape, each with their own back story. They're best represented by the marvellous Hadrian’s Wall, a magnet for visitors far and wide. You’ll never be stuck for things to do in Northumberland. Let's take you through it all!
