About the North East

With a savage and fearful past, the breathtaking Northumbrian coast is peppered with once magnificent castles at Dunstanburgh, Warkworth and Tynemouth.

Groups will learn of our military past at Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks with its lively exhibition, while further south lies Holy Island, sacred home to Lindisfarne Priory and still a site of pilgrimage as the original burial place of St Cuthbert.

Hadrian's Wall slices through 73 miles of stunning countryside, standing testament to a bloody and restless history. Do visit the Roman forts, where Hadrian's soldiers lived while defending England's northern frontier.

Go north west of Newcastle to Belsay Hall and explore 30 acres of the most spectacular landscaped grounds and glorious gardens.
