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.

“Historical and scenic.”Dr Hacking, Canada
“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
“It was one of the best holidays we've ever had. Everything was perfect...thank you. From the original phone call to the itinerary, accommodation and route we couldn't have asked for anything better. We are looking now for our next dog friendly adventure next year.”Mr Dolman, UK
“Wonderful route and weather. Your administration was once again first class.”Mr Richardson, UK
“We very much enjoyed the walking and the experience. Overall very satisfied with Contours.”Mr Aspinall, UK
“Many thanks for arranging an excellent holiday. It could not have been easy due to covid.”Mr Martin, UK
“Everything about the holiday was great. The individual B&Bs were excellent, the 2 hotels not quite as good but were still very good. They lacked the personal touch we got from the smaller places. Instructions for finding the accommodation were good and the one taxi we had to use was easy to contact and on time. The list of places to get evening meals was good and those we used were all excellent. It was all wonderful. The coastal walks were wonderful in their variety of flora and fauna and views. Going inland for some of it added variety. The best was properly the walk across to Lindisfarne using the pilgrims path in the torrential rain! A memorable event.”Mrs Thursfield, UK
“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
“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
