With sweeping, open countryside blasted and shaped by the
elements, strewn with the romantic ruins of castles from
bygone eras and unspoilt golden, sandy beaches,
Northumberland is the perfect destination for those who want
to want to explore the endless natural beauty and cultural
landmarks of this county. Nowhere else will you find an iconic
castle that has featured on the silver screen that is home to
some of the deadliest plants kept behind locked gates at
Alnwick Castle and Gardens or a coastal castle precariously
perched on the mysterious tidal island of Holy Island that is
only accessible twice a day. Both unique locations are as
fascinating as their surrounds and really set this county apart.
Get a taste for the more cosmopolitan, yet no less historical or
beautiful city of Newcastle. Enjoy an informative guided tour
of this cultural hub with its distinctive architecture and friendly
atmosphere.

Durham is steeped in history and celebrates it at every corner
– from the striking Norman architecture, historic cathedral and
museums and exhibitions galore, it is the perfect destination
for history enthusiasts. Stepping back into the notsodistant
past in comparison, this tour encompasses all things steam
and locomotive. Head to the Shildon Railway Museum, home
to iconic locomotives and beautiful collections of engineering
marvels and worldchanging inventions and learn the stories
behind these stunning vehicles. If finegauge railways, freight
trains or the Flying Scotsman is your passion, you’ll want to
alight here! Return to 20th century life in Northeast England at
the Beamish Museum and experience living, breathing history.
This openair working museum is dedicated to all things
historical, and brings to life the sights, sounds and smells (and
even tastes) of life through the ages. This handson
experience is one not to be missed, so hop on one of their
vintage trams or buses to fully immerse yourself in this
adventure.
