Holiday Homes & Cottages in Northumberland
Handpicked holiday homes & cottages in Northumberland. An ideal base to explore the stunning Northumbrian coastline & countryside.
A region of untamed beauty, Northumberland is defined by its rich history and thriving wilderness. Dotted along the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, pristine beaches are fringed by dramatic cliffs and soft sand dunes, perfect for relaxed picnics and long dog walks. Inland, the Northumberland National Park, with its diverse moorlands and peaceful woodlands, provides countless miles of walking trails and is home to the largest expanse of protected dark skies in Europe.
Sure to fascinate lovers of history, Northumberland is home to some of the UK’s most iconic castles. The breathtaking Bamburgh Castle looks out across the crashing waves of the North Sea and has served as a poignant setting for numerous films and historical dramas, as has the nearby Alnwick Castle of Harry Potter fame, with its grand medieval architecture and history as a Northern stronghold. Surrounded by grazing sheep, the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle has maintained a haunting presence on the coastline for centuries, while the fascinating Lindisfarne Castle and Priory – set on the Holy Island which was the site of the first Viking invasion on English shores – encapsulates the ancient spiritual significance of the region.
Northumberland’s diverse landscapes and natural habitats make it a haven for wildlife, from the colony of puffins to be found on the Farne Islands to the red squirrels which inhabit the region’s forests. The Kielder Water & Forest Park, part of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, is also a haven for stargazers as much as cyclists and walkers. Whether you’re drawn to the unparalleled beauty of its white sand beaches, the historic significance of its castles, or the depth of its night skies, Northumberland promises a memorable escape.
