Not too well hidden but worth a look:

Craster for the kippers then a walk to the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle.

Chillingham castle for the herd of wild white cattle

Langleeford south a bit from Wooler and then walk up Cheviot if you are feeling energetic.

Cragside near Rothbury

Rothbury to Alwinton then on to Blindburn and the roman camps beyond. Dead end but good walks

gives OS map down to walking scale, but site is use limited on its license so may not allow OS mapping later in the day. Good if you have nearby wifi or phone.

Enjoy, great area.

Good advice.

Along the Tweed is good too. Castle ruin and village at Norham, historic chain bridge plus honey farm and display of old agricultural machinery at Horncliffe, picturesque villages on Ford & Etal Estate.

If you like historic motor racing, consider the Jim Clark museum at Duns, not far over the border. His grave is at Chirnside, near the family farm.

Again not far into Scotland there are nice cliff/seascape walks at St Abbs Head, your NT membership will include parking at the NTS car park. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Sorry for delay is saying thanks to everyone.
Today has been brilliant.
Dawn to dusk sunshine in a beautiful area.
Only thing not very good is “tinternet”
Farne isles tomorrow.

Stayed down that way at Easter, bamburgh castle is one not to miss.alnwick castle worth a trip too.

thats a beautiful sight Mike, and the scenery behind is ok as well..  ... - .- -.

Lindisfarne Castle, pity it is covered in scaffolding for repairs, but gorgeous place to visit in this brilliant May sunshine ☀️ G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

No way! Just returned from Lindisfarne yesterday and did the Farne islands Saturday. We stayed in Beadnell.

Ours was the battered old silver vogue.

Couldn’t resist a little detour on the sand across the causeway!!

Why it has taken me so long to explore this corner of the country is beyond me.??
The coastline from the Scottish border down to Seahouses and beyond is stunning.
I won’t bore you with lots of detail, but last full day tomorrow, Calling at Cragside, then off home after the tea time rush, ready for Saddleworth Whit Friday celebrations, a must not miss event!!!

No flies left in Northumberland, they are plastered all over the front of B B.
Bank Holiday will be a car cleaning weekend
