Northumberland boasts more castles and fortified houses than any other English county. As well as Alnwick, which has been referred to as, "The Windsor of the North", other castles worth a visit include Bamburgh, Walkworth and the spectacular cliff-top ruins of Dunstanburgh. The Northumberland coastline is as spectacular as it is varied - from rugged cliffs to stretches of golden sandy beaches, which regularly receive the accolade of some of the cleanest beaches in the world. Dotted along the coastline are many seaside villages and sites to enjoy such as Craster, Seahouses and Alnmouth. Below is a selection of regional links to help you find out more information about the region and the multitude of attractions it has to offer.
We can now offer our guests discounted tickets for Alnwick Castle and Gardens so if you are planning a trip to Alnwick please let us know in advance and we can buy tickets on your behalf, this also enables you to fast track straight to the Castle/Garden omitting the queues.
