Treasures of Northumberland

Dates
Sunday, June 25, 2023 - 08:30 to Thursday, June 29, 2023 - 17:30

Remote and mysterious, Northumberland is borderland. Situated between the spine of England, the North Sea and the land of the Scots.
it has been fought over by Picts, Scots, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings, English and Normans. It contains one of the most picturesque and untouched stretches of coastline in the United Kingdom.

From our base at the Ramada Encore in Gateshead, we will explore some of the amazing attractions that Northumberland has to offer.
