Adventure Northumberland

I would recommend if you want to try some kayaking or coastering to use Adventure Northumberland. The sessions are three hours long and they run morning sessions or afternoon sessions. These guys also hire wetsuits and paddle boards if you don't have your own.

You will be feeling pretty hungary afterwards so I would recommend taking a bite to eat at the Jolly Fisherman Inn if you like seafood otherwise you can check out the treehouse at Alnick Castle.

A little hidden gem at Alnick is Barter Books. Make sure you check this place out.

If you are a Harry Potter or a history fan you must visit Alnick Castle and Gardens. If you prebook in advance you should try out the treehouse restaurant it is amazing.

If you are looking for a hotel or a B and B I would recommend some of these above.

The next day I would advise if your an early riser to catch the sunrise at Bamburgh Castle. If you get a good one it's going to be beautiful 😍

You can choose to explore the coast here or you could head to holy island. Make sure you check the tide times. You could walk around this beautiful little island in a couple of hours.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Itinerary Gal
Hi I'm Emma from the UK and I have been fortunate enough to have been traveling since my 20s in the UK and abroad. I started the Destination bible because I wanted to turn my passion of travelling into a business so I became an Independent travel advisor. I also have a love for fitness and the outdoors. I have spent so much time planning my adventures that I wanted to take the stress and hassle out of planning the perfect escape for others. I offer 1:1 calls and custom itineraries for all tastes and budgets. I also accept requests for package holidays/cheap flight deals/ UK staycations/ Spa and theatre breaks/ cruises and Disneyland packages and I will source the best deals and tell you where to book them. Don't worry if you have a fur baby, I often take my ginger Pomeranian Todd on my adventure's too so I can recommend some great dog friendly places. I regularly check all the best package deals from the UK so reach out if you want some recommendations on where is cheap and trending right now, as we all love a great deal right? I hope my guides will inspire you to get out more and explore the world 🌎no matter what your budget or location. I have created guides on my personal experiences and on places that I know you will enjoy exploring. Hopefully as much as I have. I only recommend places to stay based on personal experience. Looking for some inspiration? Feel free to check out my socials or browse my travel shop💗
