Ready to book up your hot to break in Northumberland, and want to start planning the things to see and do there? No problem. We’ve uncovered some of the most popular things to do in Northumbria, based on reviews of holidaymakers, just like you!
Northumberland is home to some of the UK’s best beaches (yes, really). And among the very best, is Warkworth beach.
Compared with many in the Northumberland, and certainly in the UK, it’s certainly one of the most understated, and often overlooked. That’s good for people on a hot tub break like us, because it means it doesn’t get as busy as others.
It sits on the edge of Warkworth village, which is between Amble Breakwater and Birling Carrs.
Whether it’s a relaxing day building sandcastles and soaking up the rays, or a quick visit to the surf school, Warkworth Beach is worth a visit.
Looking to combine the outdoors, nature and a boat trip? You need to book a Puffin watching trip.
The best place to go to see Puffins off the coast of Northumberland, is The Farne Islands. Depending on the season, you’ll be able to see up to 23 different species. And, this is one of the biggest UK colonies, with over 80,000 birds nesting here each year.
As an additional bonus, it’s also a site where grey seals breed. In a typical autumn, approximately 2,000 pups are born.
Looking to plan a trip to The Farne Islands and want to make the most out of it? We’d recommend visiting the National Tourism Agency’s website covering Northumberland, to help you plan your boat trip.
It might be an island, but to get to Holy Island, you won’t need to book a boat trip. It’s one of the few Islands in the UK that are linked to the mainland via a small causeway. But remember, it’s only possible to access Holy Island at low tide.
It’s definitely a different day out; you’ll be able to combine sea views, with castle exploration, plus a visit to a local village shop or two. A perfect thing for hot tub holiday makers of all ages to do while they’re in Northumberland!
