Northumbria
Northumbria is an area of magnificent scenery and is famous for its castles and broad golden beaches. Many stretches of the sweeping coastline are designated areas of natural beauty and are dotted with pretty fishing villages, such as Craster, famous for its Oaksmoked kippers and Bamburgh, famed for its rocky fortress. There are also traditional seaside towns such as Seahouses. Testimony to the regions turbulent past are the many magnificent castles such as Alnwick, Durham and Lindisfarne.

Excursion 1
With our local Blue Badge Guide we take a panoramic tour through the city and then travel north by the Cheviot Hills, visiting the villages of Ford and Etal, before arriving at Holy Island. It is still often known by its more ancient name of Lindisfarne and is internationally famous both for its religious heritage and also its more recent 16th century castle. Island access is restricted by tidal conditions and will be at the discretion of the guide and driver.
Excursion 2
Accompanied once more by our local Blue Badge Guide, we continue our city tour including the panorama of the quayside and the famous Gateshead Millenium Bridge. We then travel northbound via the county town of Morpeth and on to the Northumberland Coast and Castles route via Amble, Warkworth, Alnmouth, Boulmer, Craster and finally spectacular Alnwick Castle and Gardens with entrance included
Excursion 3
A full day excursion to Durham City, with free time at leisure to explore this wonderful city at your own pace. The magnificent Norman Cathedral and Castle have dominated the city skyline for over 900 years. Now a designated UESCO World Heritage Site, the city still retains its medieval street layout.
