Brinkburn is a stunning 12th Century Priory. It is a picturesque spot based along the river Coquet. It is a great trip when you visit Northumberland as the church has been restored completely, including a new roof.
Your trip to Northumberland will be left incomplete if you dont visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. The Holy Isle has been a place of pilgrimage for more than 1,300 years. Most of the time the islands causeway remains submerged by the sea and thus the island can be accessed only twice a day. The Priory and Castle are a stunning and humbling visit.
Warkworth Castle is a must visit if you are on a vacation in Northumberland. Built at the end of the 14th Century, the castle is almost complete including its roof. The castle used to have a fine gatehouse, great hall, chapel and towered walls.
An insight into Northumberlands rich heritage can be experienced in Woodhorn where a working Colliery still runs as a museum,and the most northerly town of England, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, cannot fail to impress. The town was fought over by the English & Scottish for hundreds of years, and the haunting atmosphere still remains, creating a fascinating walled market town. The fine collections of interiors can be seen in Wallington mansion which is set in Border Reiver country. The mansion is surrounded by woodlands, lawns and hundred acres of lakes.
