General presentation
Côte du Northumberland
Castles on dunes, tidal islands, fishing villages, vast beaches and very open light in the northeast of England.
To understand what the Northumberland Coast is, look at Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne and Dunstanburgh Castle. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, heritage, island landscapes and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: tidal times indispensable for Lindisfarne and frequent wind. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Coastal castle
Bamburgh Castle
Bamburgh Castle dominates the coast with an immediate visual presence, framed by sea and esplanade. The masonry details and observation points are spoken, especially when it takes time to explore the transitions between strong and landscape.

Tide Island
Lindisfarne
Lindisfarne imposes a rhythm linked to the sea: framed access, pedestrian areas, views of the rocks and rapid changes of light. The strongest experience appears when one follows the rhythm of the crossing and waiting.

Coastal Ruin
Dunstanburgh Castle
Dunstanburgh Castle appears after an exposed coastal march, laid in ruins on a wind-beaten promontory. Its broken walls, cliffs and seabirds make up a very physical visit, where the approach from Craster counts as much as the arrival between the towers.

Castle
Alnwick Castle
Alnwick Castle imposes its massive walls in the heart of Northumberland, with a fortress silhouette still very alive. The courses, decorated rooms and family activities give two readings of the place: aristocratic residence on one side, adventure setting on the other.
