What you can expect

Explore Northumberland your way with this guidebook that illustrates a scenic 189-mile (303 km) point-to-point trip through one of England’s most awe-inspiring regions.
Designed for flexibility, the guide is organised into two themed sections—Northumberland National Park and Northumberland Coast—so you only visit the places that you choose.


WHAT TO EXPECT
• This is an online travel guide – much like a digital book – ready for you to read, browse, and get inspired while planning at home or using your phone on the go.
• The guidebook offers an overarching plan to help shape your multi-destination holiday, with different ideas and sample itineraries. It shows how destinations can be combined to suit your timeframe – typically from 3 to 14 days.
• It’s designed to help you decide where to go, what to see, where to stay, and to inspire your trip in a way that suits your interests. It also includes helpful tips such as how to get there and where to park.
• Please note: the guide itself is not customisable. However, each route includes Uncover Britain’s own pre-populated Google Maps with suggested pins and directions, plus customisable directions by section using Google Maps.
