Northumberland & Cumbria
From the Roman might of Hadrian’s Wall and the excavated treasures of Vindolanda, to the story‑soaked shores of Holy Island and Lindisfarne, the coastal castles of Bamburgh and Alnwick, and even England's northernmost town, Northumberland has witnessed centuries of drama and change.
Movie lovers will recognise its sweeping landscapes - albeit missing one very famous tree, now beginning to take root again - from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, along with the magical silouette of Alnwick Castle, a.k.a Hogwarts, beloved by fans of the famous Harry Potter movies.
Wander through charming market towns, linger in cosy cafes and be refreshed by walks along beautiful beaches with iconic views. In Northumberland if often feels as though you have stepped back in time.
This is a land shaped by conquerors, kings, monks, and marauders. Every mile reveals another chapter of Britain’s dramatic story - still unfolding to this day.
