BEFORE YOU GO

Helpful details before you visit.

Start with one area

Try Bamburgh and Seahouses for the coast, Craster for a pub-and-castle outing, or Rothbury for an estate visit. Leave time for breaks and the return journey.

Check Holy Island crossing times

Build your island visit around the council’s safe causeway windows for both journeys.

Allow for local conditions

The homepage forecast uses Alnwick as a reference point. The coast, hills and Kielder can have different weather. Carry water, a lead and waste bags.

Travel and parking

Use the tourism board’s planning pages and ask your transport operator about carrying dogs before relying on a service.
