Northumberland: takes its name from the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria and is one of the wildest and most beautiful of England's counties. Other regions may have more dramatic mountains or more gentle and picturesque countryside but few have such large unspoilt areas. Northumberland is the least densely populated County in England. It has its own National Park, its own flag, its own tartan and its own dialect with more castles open to the public than any other county - a relic of the long and bloody conflicts fought against the Scots. The Romans were the first to try to cut off the Scottish barbarians by building Hadrian's Wall - much of its 73 mile length still remains. For Accommodation please click on the Globes below. |
