https://dev.contours.co.uk/northumberland-coastal-path-south-to-north
A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £310 per person
The Northumberland Coastal Path tours wild, unspoilt countryside, where long beaches of golden sand are presided over by castle ruins looming on the headlands.
This gentle, low-level walk arcs inland once – to sample glorious views of the coast from St Cuthbert’s Cave – but otherwise clings to the Northumbrian shoreline. Castles adorn the rocky headlands 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, this is a pretty, approachable, and friendly coastline walk.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £615 per person
This holiday option explores the length of the Northumberland Coast Path along 72 miles of incredible terrain, from the town of Creswell up to Berwick-upon-Tweed near the Scottish border.
Walk along golden beaches beneath ruined castles towering on the headlands. The Northumberland Coast Path tours a wild, unspoilt region full of history, winding northwards and showcasing everything this lesser-known trail has to offer.

“Possibly our best ever British walking holiday. All the arrangements made by Contours worked like clockwork and the accommodation was excellent.”Mr Petch, UK
“Very much enjoyed the puffins tour to Farne Islands from Seahouses. Even though most of the puffins had left for the sea, there were still about 200 puffins left so that I was able to take lovely pictures of them. Greatly enjoyed the walk across the sand to Holy Island during low tide along those long sticks helping me to find my way. Did probably more than half of the hike barefoot along the beach. I could have left my walking boots at home (joke). Even went for a short dip in the chilly North Sea. But if I had not forgotten my bathing cap I could have swam for a while. Had lots of lovely little conversations along the way, as people there are friendly, open and have all the time of the world for a chat.”Ms Cullmann, Germany
“Very enjoyable and well organised. All the beaches were lovely, with the walk to Bamburgh Castle the best. The walk from Belford to Lindisfarne via the Pilgrim's Route was excellent.”Mr Marlow, UK
“This was one of the highlights of my life. I will go back.”Mr Cook, USA
“Overall we were very pleased. Since we'd never been to Britain before, and were worried about losing our way, we bought a handheld GPS and downloaded your files. They were very helpful. We have friends who are interested, and now that we're back, we plan to encourage them to book too! Our bucket list is long, but we hope to make it back to the UK and would love to do another walking holiday.”Mrs Sampson, USA
“Coastpath is beautiful. We are looking at other similar level holidays already.”Mrs McRoberts, UK
“Enjoyed every minute of the walking and mileage plan was perfect. Well organised and all but one of the accommodations was outstanding. I can’t fault the organisation. There are several of the coastal walks I would be interested in.”Ms Bootman, UK
“We very much enjoyed the walking and the experience. Overall very satisfied with Contours.”Mr Aspinall, UK
“Even Storm Ali couldn’t dampen our pleasure nor could the power cuts on the mainland and Holy Island.”Mr McGarry, UK
