3 Northumberland walks we probably shouldn’t be sharing 🤫

The guidebooks will point you straight to the main castle car parks. We say head a little further off the beaten track.

1. Ross Sands: Park at the farm and take the mile-long track down to the sea. Your reward is an untouched coastline and the best views of Lindisfarne.

2. The Cheviot Hills: Ditch the coastal routes for a day and head inland into the National Park. It is wild, rugged, and you can hike for hours without bumping into another soul. On a clear day you can see right out to sea and even Cumbria and Scotland.

3. St Cuthbert’s Cave: Follow the footsteps of the monks who carried St Cuthbert’s remains away from Viking raids. The sandstone overhangs are incredible up close and the views over Holy Island are beautiful.

Save this for your next trip north. 📌

A quick drink with a view! 🐄💧

Keeping the herd hydrated while they take in the Northumberland coastline. We only have a tiny bit of space left in September, but the farm really comes into its own as the seasons shift. If you fancy crisp morning walks and total peace and quiet, an autumn escape is calling.

Stepping out of the dunes to miles of open sand. The coast starts to take on a completely different energy in autumn - quieter, wilder, and entirely yours to explore without the summer crowds.
