Northumberland is a wonderful county. Apart from the fact the folk are friendly, get out of the depressed post-industrial south-east of the county and you are into mile after mile of glorious countryside: the Cheviots, rolling moors, fabulous castles on a cost with mile after mile of golden sand beaches, heather on the moors, Roman forts, and my favourite place in the whole of the UK: Cragside on the outskirts of Rothbury - the first house in the world to have electric lighting - powered by hydroelectric power from lakes on the estate http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-cragsidehousegardenandestate/ also with it's own strain of bees living between floors of the house.. producing own unique honey been there since the house was built. Wallington Hall with its amazing collection of dolls' houses.. Lindisfarne only accessable when the tide is out.. The Farnes with amazing wildlife.. Bamburgh Castle (and you have to have tea & cake at the Copper Kettle), Alnwick Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle... Ingram Valley..
I could go on..
