A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £340 per person
The Northumberland Coast Path walking holiday tours wild, unspoilt countryside, where castle ruins loom on the headands above long beaches of golden sand.
This gentle, low-level walk is predominantly coastal but arcs inland once — to enjoy stunning views of the coast from St Cuthbert’s Cave — but otherwise clings to the Northumbrian shoreline. 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, this is a pretty, approachable and friendly section of the England Coast Path. It covers 74 miles, but we also offer a Highlights tour that spans 28 miles and hits our absolute favourite sections along the way.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.

The South Northumberland Coast Path stretches from the lively city of Sunderland up to Cresswell, where it then meets with the main Northumberland Coast Path. This 39-mile route forms part of the England Coast Path National Trail, an ongoing development to create a full trail around the entire coastline of the country.
The South Northumberland Coast Path features everything you could hope for in an urban coastal walk. Wander along beachside promenades and clifftop paths, past coastal caves and, of course, over lots of beautiful beaches and sandy dunes. There are plenty of amazing landmarks to see, including eroded stack formations, old lighthouses, charming harbour towns and fishing villages, and a selection of historic remnants from Roman times, the Dark Ages and the Industrial Era.
