Just show me Northumberland Cottages
Vast stretches of unspoilt, golden sandy beach, a higher
concentration of historic castles than anywhere else in the
country, a World Heritage Site in Hadrian's
Wall, a dramatic and scenic National Park and not one
but two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - welcome to
Northumberland! Add to the above vibrant towns and cities with
thriving shopping, arts and culture, quiet, picturesque fishing
villages, excellent holiday accommodation and the legendary warmth
of its people, and in a Northumberland cottage holiday you have a
mouth-watering holiday prospect, whatever type of break you're
looking for.
Nudging Hadrian's Wall Country and the Scottish borders to the
north and with the stunning coastal and moor land scenery of the
North Pennines to the south, Northumberland is flanked by mile upon
mile of beautiful, windswept coast to the east. Vast stretches of
tantalisingly empty, sandy beach are punctuated with ruined
castles, fortresses and ancient abbeys, all bearing witness to the
strategic importance of this ancient land throughout history. The
region's heritage is apparent at every turn, making for many
fascinating days out at first class visitor attractions for those
choosing a Northumbria cottage holiday.
Outdoor lovers will find the space they yearn on a Northumberland
cottage holiday. The tranquillity of the open countryside and the
rugged beauty of the Northumberland National Park, nestling between
the rolling Cheviot Hills and Hadrian's Wall Country, afford
the visitor room to breathe and establish a welcome sense of
freedom. Walkers and cyclists will feel they have the place to
themselves, whether rambling on open moorland or cycling amid
ancient forests and gently rolling countryside on a stretch of the
Coast-to-Coast cycle route, which passes through the county.
Kielder Water, the largest man-made lake in Northern Europe and
England's largest area of managed forest, lies within the
National Park and is a vast playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
Water sports opportunities and mountain bike trails are in
abundance, together with guided walks, forest trails and adventure
activities for children. Miles of seaside walking is available the
length and breadth of the coastline, while the area has many fine
'links' golf courses to challenge the enthusiast, and the
coastal fishing villages provide the opportunity for both deep sea
and line fishing.
Northumberland's towns and cities provide a vibrant contrast to
the tranquillity of the rural landscape. Dynamic Newcastle has a
thriving arts scene and cultural attractions of international
standard. Alnwick is one of the
country's most desirable, picture-postcard towns with a
splendid castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland and famous for
its Harry Potter connections, and beautiful gardens with the
largest cascading water feature in Europe. Meanwhile, Berwick Upon
Tweed, sitting on the border between England and
Scotland, stands proud as a living lesson in Anglo-Scottish
history.
Smaller, coastal resorts offer fabulously fresh seafood,
picturesque seaside vistas and ancient fortresses. Craster, famous for
its traditional smokehouses and kippers and views to nearby
Dunstanburgh Castle, which rises majestically at the far reaches of
the bay; Embleton, with its
fine sweep of dune-backed beach. Beadnell and Low
Newton provide lovely coastal walking; Seahouses has a
beautiful beach and is the access point to the remote Farne
Islands, where some of the best bird watching in the country can be
enjoyed from the comfort of a pleasure cruise around the bay.
Pretty Alnmouth sits (as its name suggests) where the River Aln
meets the sea and has an enviable sandy beach and charming 9 hole
links golf course. The village of Bamburgh has yet
another superb beach and, in Bamburgh Castle, a magnificent,
awe-inspiring sight, justifiably one of the most popular visitor
attractions in the region.
Of course, any Northumberland cottage break would be incomplete
without a pilgrimage to the area's most revered site;
atmospheric Holy
Island of Lindisfarne; a tidal island completely cut
off from the mainland by North Sea tides twice a day. Described as
the 'fountainhead of England's Christian heritage',
Lindisfarne Castle, Priory and Heritage Centre stand out as popular
visitor attractions, and the island is a designated Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, with abundant sea birds and a pristine
landscape filled with rare plants, flowers and wildlife.
Northumberland cottage holidays offers a welcome breath of fresh
air - and a Sykes Northumberland cottage guarantees you the very
best of locations. Whether you want your Northumberland holiday
home close to the wide open seascapes of Craster, Beadnell,
Seahouses or Amble; in a historic market town, such as Morpeth, Alnwick or
Berwick, at the heart of a dynamic city such as Newcastle or
Durham, or
simply far from the madding crowd in any number of the pretty,
honey-coloured villages and hamlets in the rural heart of the
region, you are sure to find your own home away from home among our
hand-picked collection of Northumberland cottages.
