Northumberland coast in 5 days
Empty beaches, dramatic castles, and Holy Island.
Northumberland has the emptiest coast in England — long sand bays, dramatic castle silhouettes (Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Dunstanburgh), and the Farne Islands offshore for puffins. Five days based in Seahouses or Bamburgh gives time for Holy Island (tide-restricted access), the Alnwick Castle and Garden, and the Farnes by boat.
