A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

The Northumberland Coast Path walking holiday tours wild, unspoilt countryside, where castle ruins loom on the headlands above long beaches of golden sand.
This gentle, low-level walk is predominantly coastal, with one arc inland to enjoy stunning views of the coast from St Cuthbert’s Cave. Castles adorn the rocky cliffs, and at low tide, you can make your way across a tidal causeway to Holy Island to explore the extensive ruins of Lindisfarne Priory.
With plenty of beach walking between bustling seaside towns, the complete Northumberland Coast Path is a pretty, approachable and friendly section of the England Coast Path. We also offer a Northumberland Coast Highlights tour that spans 28 miles and hits our absolute favourite sections along the way.

“The route was excellent and the organisation throughout was faultless. The path was very well signposted, and with the map and supplementary directions, we didn't get lost at all! Spectacular, expansive, people free beaches combined with cliff top paths, some farmland and woodland, all made this a fantastic route. Add in several castles, friendly people, good food and drink, and the holiday was great. Already got some fellow ramblers looking! Efficient service and reasonable value.”Mr Tumelty, UK
