About Our Blog

Welcome to my blog, where I share my passion for Northumberland, a county in Northern England that has so much to offer. Whether you are looking for history, nature, culture, or adventure, you will find it here in Northumberland.

Northumberland is a land of contrasts, from the rugged beauty of the Cheviot Hills and North Pennines, to the sandy beaches and fishing villages of the coast. It is home to some of the most impressive castles in England, such as Alnwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle, and Warkworth Castle. It is also the birthplace of many famous figures, such as the Earl Grey tea, the inventor George Stephenson, and the poet Basil Bunting.

Northumberland is also a place of wonder, where you can gaze at the stars in Europe’s largest area of protected night skies, or marvel at the rare and wild Chillingham cattle, which are more endangered than giant pandas. You can also explore the rich heritage of Hadrian’s Wall, the Roman frontier that marked the edge of the empire, or discover the secrets of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, a sacred site of Christianity and a haven for wildlife.

In this blog, I will share with you my experiences, tips, and recommendations for visiting Northumberland, as well as some interesting facts and stories about this amazing county. I hope you will enjoy reading my posts and feel inspired to visit Northumberland yourself. Thank you for stopping by!
