The basics

While hikers flock to Northumberland National Park for guided or independent walks along the trails that crisscross this beautiful natural attraction, history lovers won't want to miss the opportunity to wander the length of Hadrian’s Wall. Venture up to the Scottish border in the north or take day trips to typical English villages such as Harbottle, Rothbury, and Holystone, where you can stop by tea houses, country pubs, or stately homes. For something more outdoorsy, you can even go horseback riding or fishing.
