Allendale has been twice crowned Village of the Year for All England and it's easy to understand why. This pretty, stone-built village in the heart of the Allen Valleys may be small in size, but it is big in personality.

Alnwick is one of those towns you just have to visit. Twisting cobbled streets with an eclectic collection of individual shops are teamed with some of the country’s top attractions, including Alnwick Castle.

Amble proudly declares itself to be the ‘friendliest port’ in Northumberland, this waterfront town hugs the River Coquet estuary at the southern gateway to the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Berwick-Upon-Tweed is arguably England’s most dramatic walled town. Look around and you’ll soon find evidence of Berwick’s tempestuous past. Captured or sacked 13 times before finally falling into English hands in 1482, Berwick’s great Elizabethan walls were built to keep invading Scots from entering the town.

There are some many other towns to visit in Northumberland, we just couldn't list them all. However for more information why not take a look around the Visit Northumberland website.
