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.

“We found all the accommodations very clean and the staff helpful. The best one was Malabar in Seahouses (Five Stars!) It was well arranged by the Contours team, at quite short notice and we appreciate the work you have put in.”Mr Howatt, UK
“My friend and I had a very enjoyable walking holiday. The weather was perfect, the accommodations ranged from satisfactory to excellent. The info folder was excellent. The taxi was on time. The luggage transfers were seamless. Would most certainly book another holiday with you. We like the way the walking holidays are organized very much.”Mr Cramer, Netherlands
“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
“Particularly enjoyed Holy Island. Beautiful hotel room with iconic views.”Ms Reid, Canada
“This was our first walking holiday, and based on this, we will do more. The planning done by Contours made the experience seamless and allowed us to enjoy the experience.”Mr Holski, Canada
“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
“Contours staff and admin support was very good and so were all the B&B's.”Mr Pert, UK
“A positive experience for me as a solo walker. Contours adjusted the length of walks each day to fit in with what I wanted to do along the way.”Ms Moorcroft, UK
“Both paths were beautiful. The weather was great.”Ms Nyquist, USA
