Northumbria
Described as a land of proud castles, glorious coastline, unspoilt countryside, with an amazing spirit of history and a buzzing modern life. A region with a breathtaking array of untouched and uncongested landscapes including its own wildly spectacular National Park, areas of outstanding natural beauty, a heritage coastline and also two World Heritage sites in Hadrians Wall and Durham Cathedral and Castle.

Whether your interest is Roman, Christian Heritage, Castles, Gardens, Cathedrals, Abbeys, Churches, Art Galleries, Museums, Battles, Prince Bishops, Border Raiders, or Railways and Industrial Heritage, its all here and more. A wealth of places to see and things to do.

This region, which over the centuries echoed to the sound of bloody border conflict, also housed the birthplace of Christianity and has provided some of the foremost minds and achievements behind Britains Industrial Transformation. The region now combines the areas of Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, and the Tees Valley.
