A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £340 per person
The Northumberland Coast Path walking holiday tours wild, unspoilt countryside, where castle ruins loom on the headands above long beaches of golden sand.
This gentle, low-level walk is predominantly coastal but arcs inland once — to enjoy stunning views of the coast from St Cuthbert’s Cave — but otherwise clings to the Northumbrian shoreline. 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, this is a pretty, approachable and friendly section of the England Coast Path. It covers 74 miles, but we also offer a Highlights tour that spans 28 miles and hits our absolute favourite sections along the way.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £650 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.

“An amazing, fantastically organised and beautiful holiday. I cannot recommend the Northumbrian Coastline walk enough - and you Contours - thank you. Easy beautiful terrain. We were lucky with the weather which obviously made it more glorious. We only got lost twice”Mrs Harris, UK
“It was a fantastic break. Superb scenery, pleasant, easy walking, lovely accommodations. It all went as we hoped it would. The paths were very well signposted (no need for instructions whilst walking) and the walking was good and relatively flat.”Miss Arris, UK
“Historical and scenic.”Dr Hacking, Canada
“The best holiday yet with Contours.”Mr Prendergrast, 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
“Easy walking along a well signed route. The coastal walking and views are excellent. The beaches are long and virtually empty. The villages and coastal towns are welcoming and have good places to eat. We continue to enjoy excellent service from you as we have done down the years - thankyou.”Mr Welford, UK
