| Why Northumberland?
Rich dunelands, rocky promontories,
isolated offshore islands, spectacular
sweeping sands & mudflats –
the quality of coastline judged amongst
the finest in England, rightly designated
as both an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty & Heritage Coast. Inland
boasts the Cheviots within the Northumberland
National Park, all adding up to a wild,
unspoilt & beautiful county. Inviting
to say the least! |
