Northumberland

Setting foot on an island always feels like adventure, but walking all the way round takes it to a whole new level. And in some places all you need is one day.

Until 200 years ago, this Northumberland village-by-the-sea was a bustling grain port. Today, its miles of sandy beach, seafood eateries and maritime history make it an excellent choice for families.
