A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £400 per person
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.

“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
“Brilliant. Lovely walk. Very well organised. This was our third holiday with Contours and we have two more in the pipeline.”Prof Creighton, 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 best holiday yet with Contours.”Mr Prendergrast, UK
“Contours staff and admin support was very good and so were all the B&B's.”Mr Pert, UK
“Even Storm Ali couldn’t dampen our pleasure nor could the power cuts on the mainland and Holy Island.”Mr McGarry, UK
“The Northumberland Coast Path covers a very interesting and lovely area which was unknown to us previously. The mileage agreed was perfect allowing us time to explore the towns and villages.”Mrs Butcher, UK
“I had some really nice, large rooms this trip and the quality was very good throughout. If that was down to your booker, thank you very much (otherwise I just got lucky!)”Mr Garlick, 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
