The days are getting brighter and flowers are starting to bloom across the Northumbrian countryside. There’s no better time to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and retreat to a hideaway in Northumberland.
Northumberland is an award-winning destination that’s luckily right on our doorstep. If you still need convincing, here’s some reasons why you should staycation in Northumberland this spring and summer:
1. Privacy:
Everyone has busy schedules, whether it’s spending ungodly hours in the office or shipping our children here, there and everywhere. Wherever we go it’s usually surrounded by people, but Northumberland is the county with the least populous in the UK, perfect for a break from the footfall.

2. Gazing at the stars:
Northumberland International Dark Sky Park has some of the least polluted skies in Europe. On a clear night step outside for some of the best views for stargazing: nothing but you, your loved ones and the stars!

3. Hiking and cycling routes:
There’s no shortage of activities in Northumberland, but all you need to enjoy it is yourself. Explore hiking routes on foot, bicycle or head off track. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for unique Northumbrian wildlife and spring flowers.
