Guesthouses in Northumberland, England |
Guesthouses in Northumberland, EnglandNorthumberland is a county in the north of England, on the border with Scotland. The county town is now Morpeth.
Northumberland has a long and turbulent past with many border wars between the Scots and the English, and that was before the Roman Empire extended its grasp on the region! We list guest houses in Northumberland, England.
Today, Northumberland is largely rural and the least populated county in Britain. There is plenty of golf and fishing available, plus horse riding and sailing for those who want an active holiday. The National Park is a major delight not to be missed.
Rothbury is a traditional market town and the buildings use the mellow sandstone from the surrounding hills. It makes a good centre for exploring the Simonside Hills and adjacent areas. The River Coquet is among the best rivers for fishing in the country. The town has good traditional shops and eating places.
Visit Berwick, a bustling border town on the coast with excellent shopping facilities and a strong Scottish influence
If you need a castle, there are many to choose from, but at random see Warkworth not far from the mouth of the river Coquet. It is an unrestored ruin and dramatically dominates the town.
