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 very much enjoyed the walking and the experience. Overall very satisfied with Contours.”Mr Aspinall, 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
“The walk exceeded our expectations, beautiful beaches and weather.”Mrs Dean, UK
“All aspects of the trip were very well done. Accommodations were generally very good with a couple that were outstanding. Some were a bit quirky but that is a part of the experience. All hosts and hostesses were very friendly and accommodating.”Mr Stone, Canada
“Beautiful area, enjoyed in spectacular weather. We were very lucky!”Mrs Wilde, 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
