Embleton Bay

Northumberland is blessed with many beautiful beaches and this wide sandy bay is one of the best. Tucked away behind a golf course and with a view of Dunstanburgh castle this is an unspoilt and well kept secret perfect for dogs and the grandkids loved paddling in the sea.

Dunstanburgh Castle

Reviewed By hms02 - Kent, United Kingdom

We parked in Craster pay and display car park and walked a mile and a bit along the coastal path. Greeted by the loveliest English Heritage lady who waved and greeted us and made us feel very welcome and also told us some interesting history about the castle. The castle ruins are beautiful and we saw ravens, which were nesting, a sparrow hawk and lots of sheep!! Would recommend the walk and location it was stunning especially in the sunshine.

Alnwick Castle

Alnwick Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in England. Home to the Duke of Northumberland's family, the Percys, for over 700 years, it has witnessed drama, intrigue, tragedy and romance. From stunning art collections and sumptuous State Rooms to medieval crafts and Potter-inspired magic, a visit to Alnwick Castle fires the imagination.

It used to be the home of the Percy family, but now it seems that today it is the home of harry potter. Alnwick is the best castle I visited this year by far! it has several daily tours dedicated to its history and to its filming history, great activities for kids (especially if they read Harry Potter), and the gardens... oh my, they are incredible. If you come from afar like us, and you want to explore both the castle and the gardens you shoul dknow that it is a very tough mission. You should know that by buying one day ticket for the castle you can use the ticket for the whole year. so my tip is to stretch you visit over 1.5- 2 days. focus one day on the castle and the grounds and the other on the gardens

Low Newton by the Sea Beach

Reviewed By Adventure681377

This is a beautiful, clean beach on a curve which leads the eye to the view of Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance. The Ship Inn, set back from the beach does a roaring trade thanks to its tasty food, beer brewed in the local micro-brewery and the welcoming and lively atmosphere.

The Alnwick Garden

The Alnwick Garden is one of the world’s most extraordinary contemporary gardens. From poisonous plants and treetop walkways to glorious roses and towering delphiniums, the Duchess of Northumberland’s vision for a forgotten plot is now a truly 21st century experience full of imagination and fun, all brought to life with water.

If you can watch the video on the website before you go, that gives a great insight into how much work has gone into creating this amazing garden. It is so varied- there are lots of different water features in the serpent garden, a bamboo maze, the Poison garden (fascinating insight into deadly plants all done in an interesting and fun way) , well stocked and beautifully laid out walled garden , cherry orchard with loads of solid wooden swings that are suitable for adults and children alike- relax on the swing overlooking the beautiful views. The main attraction of course though, as you come in, are the huge stepped fountains which squirt jets out to create stunning displays. Well organised Covid measures. Plenty of cafes, toilets, ice cream places etc for a day out too. Don’t miss visiting this beautiful place
