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.

“Good accommodation and a good walk.”Mr Hirst, UK
“Very enjoyable and well organised. All the beaches were lovely, with the walk to Bamburgh Castle the best. The walk from Belford to Lindisfarne via the Pilgrim's Route was excellent.”Mr Marlow, UK
“This was one of the highlights of my life. I will go back.”Mr Cook, USA
“The route was excellent and the organisation throughout was faultless. The path was very well signposted, and with the map and supplementary directions, we didn't get lost at all! Spectacular, expansive, people free beaches combined with cliff top paths, some farmland and woodland, all made this a fantastic route. Add in several castles, friendly people, good food and drink, and the holiday was great. Already got some fellow ramblers looking! Efficient service and reasonable value.”Mr Tumelty, 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
“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
“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
“Wonderful route and weather. Your administration was once again first class.”Mr Richardson, UK
“A year late because of covid, but worth the wait. We have recommended you to some friends coming over from NZ next year (maybe), they followed our Northumberland walk online and fell in love with the land and seascapes.”Mr Cairns, UK
