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.

“It was a wonderful holiday, amazing scenery, and even good weather! The walk was lovely, beautiful beaches, interesting villages, castles, wildlife….All the arrangements went smoothly and all the accommodation was of a high standard. Hope to do another one next year!”Prof Browning, UK
“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
