Berwick-upon-Tweed

The northernmost town in England, Berwick-upon-Tweed is nestled on the border of England and Scotland at the mouth of the River Tweed on the stunning East Coast. It makes a fantastic base for scenic walks along the Northumberland coast but it’s also a charming and well-preserved market town which is well worth exploring. It’s also home to some notable architectural features including the famous Stephenson’s Viaduct bridge, which is often mentioned as being one of the finest in the world.

Northumberland

A wild, unspoiled and remote corner of England which holds the accolade of being the most unpolluted place in the country both in terms of noise, air, and light (so makes a fantastic place to go stargazing)! Sparsely populated, it’s also one of the most beautiful places to visit in the United Kingdom and possesses a timeless almost unearthly feel. Expect empty endless beaches punctuated by the odd ancient castle perched on a rocky outcrop and wonderfully untamed rugged landscapes. From my many visits over the years, here are the best and most beautiful places to visit in Northumberland, England…
