Food Scene

Northumberland does seem to cater for all tastes. There are some excellent eating establishments now, ranging from fine dining to superb pub and bar meals. Seafood is an obvious regional attraction.
A very short walk from our front door, a really good seafood restaurant, reasonably priced with a Brazillian/Portugese menu. The seafood stew/broth called caldeirada paraense is AMAZING ! The restaurant is closed until April each year.

Sightseeing

The chance to get out in open air of Northumberland is it's main attraction we think. The Northumberland National Park, Northumberland Coastal Path & Northumberland Dark Park are all naturally occurring attractions the county has to offer, oh & the 1,200 miles of walking routes, 80 miles of beaches & over 70 castles!

We can even arrange for you to swim with the seals off the Outer Farne Islands beside the Longstone lighthouse. You will need to be a confident, experienced open water swimmer to take part.

Centred round the charming villages of Ford & Etal & nestled in the furthermost corner of north Northumberland, this large country estate is home to a range of attractions, outdoor adventure & traditional tearooms. One of the main attractions is Heatherslaw Light Railway-the most northerly steam railway in England. The 15" gauge railway pulled by steam locomotive "Bunty" travels along the banks of the River Till between Heatherslaw Station and Etal Castle, a return journey of 6.4km. A choice of fully enclosed or partly glazed coaches ensures you'll remain dry, even on the wettest days! A really lovely way to spend the day especially for kids.

Cragside was the home of Victorian engineer Lord Armstrong. Together, he & his wife Lady Margaret Armstrong created Cragside, the first home in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity using Sir Joseph Swan's newly-invented filament lightbulbs. The estate was once a bare moorland which has been engineered to create a stunning Himalayan landscape, with a formal garden, estate carriage drive, lakes, woodland & walks & stunning trail walks, especially in springtime.
