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
“We very much enjoyed the walking and the experience. Overall very satisfied with Contours.”Mr Aspinall, 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 loved the walk. Enjoy walking on the beach.”Mr Orban, USA
“This was the first walk I ever did with Contours back in April 2010 (but it was then in the other direction), and I’ve wanted to revisit it for a while. It’s a stunning stretch of coastline with lots of things to see along the way. Definitely a good route to try for anyone new to long-distance walking, as it’s mainly flat and has very good waymarking.”Mr Julyan, UK
“Possibly our best ever British walking holiday. All the arrangements made by Contours worked like clockwork and the accommodation was excellent.”Mr Petch, UK
“The walk exceeded our expectations, beautiful beaches and weather.”Mrs Dean, UK
“The best holiday yet with Contours.”Mr Prendergrast, UK
“Good accommodation and a good walk.”Mr Hirst, UK
