If you are visiting the area then take a quick look at Farm Stay UK’s rural and farm holiday properties.
Are you a star gazer? Then Northumberland’s International Dark Sky Park, Europe’s largest area of protected night sky, is a visual spectacle and a must for a romantic night observing the regions Dark Sky.

The area is truly breathaking, and with Northumberland’s coast peppered with once magnificent castles such as Dunstanburgh and Warkworth, you really can’t beat it for a truly incredible holiday or short break.

The region is also home to two world heritage sites; Hadrian’s Wall, Britain’s most impressive and most important Roman monument; and Durham Castle, construction of which began in 1072 under the orders of William the Conqueror.
