Northumberland Holiday Cottages
Northumberland holiday cottages can be found in countryside that was once part of the ancient Saxon kingdom of Northumbria. This is frontier country, consisting of vast moor-land wastes and barren landscapes. Northumberland's national park is the least populated in the country and provides some truly breathtaking scenery - one of the reasons why weekend breaks in Northumberland and short breaks are proving ever popular.

From Berwick upon Tweed, the coastline stretches down towards Blyth. It is largely unspoilt and is an area of profound natural beauty. A selection of islands lie of the Northumbrian coast such as Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands. Seaside villages Amble,
Alnmouth and Craster offer some spectacular coastal walks as well.
The Cheviot hills formed by the rising coastland uplands run along the Scottish border. Northumbria National park and Kielder Water consist of woodlands, forest trails and Roman remains. The county is full of reminders of the past with castles like Bamburgh and Warkworth dominating the picturesque landscape.
