For a 3 night stayIf you’re searching for a getaway in North East England, Northumberland is an excellent choice. A large amount of it is filled with Northumberland National Park, where you can feel connected to nature and discover Hadrian’s Wall, Kielder Forest and the Cheviots Hills. There is also a host of charming towns in the county of Tyne and Wear – like Sunderland and South Sheilds.
Head to the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for dramatic landscapes, castles and picturesque fishing villages. A must-see is the 12th-century Bamburgh Castle, which sits on a volcanic outcrop surrounded by golden sands and backed by dunes with views of the Farne Islands. Drive over to Holy Island using the causeway and discover a castle, nature reserve and beach.
For a city break, visit Newcastle upon Tyne where you’ll find some of the best nightlife in Britain and a huge number of daytime activities, too. Splash out in the Eldon Square Shopping Centre, watch a show at the Theatre Royal or soak up the atmosphere in the Grainger Town Market. You can also enjoy the city without spending a penny by enjoying a stroll along the River Tyne, relaxing in St James’ Park or wandering around North Tyneside which is away from the busy city centre.
