A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £374 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 loved the walk. Enjoy walking on the beach.”Mr Orban, USA
“A delightful walk from start to finish.”Mr Eastwood, UK
“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
“Brilliant. Lovely walk. Very well organised. This was our third holiday with Contours and we have two more in the pipeline.”Prof Creighton, UK
“Overall, we’ve loved the walk. It has really allowed us to de-stress and the views have been fantastic. Everyone we’ve interacted with has been really friendly and helpful.”Mr Fleetwood, UK
“This was the first walk I ever did with Contours back in April 2010 (but it was then in the other direction), and I’ve wanted to revisit it for a while. It’s a stunning stretch of coastline with lots of things to see along the way. Definitely a good route to try for anyone new to long-distance walking, as it’s mainly flat and has very good waymarking.”Mr Julyan, UK
“We very much enjoyed the walking and the experience. Overall very satisfied with Contours.”Mr Aspinall, UK
“Good accommodation and a good walk.”Mr Hirst, 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
