Hotels in Northumberland, United Kingdom

Northumberland, England's northernmost county, is a rugged, windswept region where history and wild landscapes collide. Its climate is cool and changeable-summers bring mild highs around 65°F (18°C) perfect for hiking along Hadrian's Wall, a 2nd-century Roman fortification, while winters can drop to 35°F (2°C), turning the coast into a dramatic setting for spotting seals and puffins at the Farne Islands. In summer, you can bike through Kielder Forest, England's largest forest, or kayak in the River Tyne, while winter offers cozy castle-hopping at Alnwick (the Harry Potter filming location) and stargazing in the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, where the Milky Way is visible on clear nights.
