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.

“Possibly our best ever British walking holiday. All the arrangements made by Contours worked like clockwork and the accommodation was excellent.”Mr Petch, UK
“Let me start by telling you that we very much enjoyed our holidays. It was well organised, the walks were beautiful and we met very kind people almost everywhere. We wouldn’t hesitate to book holidays with you again or to advise it to other people in the Netherlands.”Mrs Mulder, Netherlands
“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
