Northumberland is also known as England's "Secret Kingdom"Northumberland, unsurprisingly, is absolutely steeped in history. From the 'Cradle of Christianity' in England (Holy Island), to the seat of King Oswald (Bamburgh Castle), there is a wealth of things to see and do in the northernmost county of England. Northumberland prides itself in having what is widely accepted as the most friendly local population in the country.
Wide open spaces and fabulous scenery await you as well as busy market towns, excellent cuisine, cozy pubs, fabulous golf courses, challenging cycle trails, miles of beautiful beaches, acres of rolling hills, stunning castles & ancient monuments.... the list just goes on and on!
