Northumberland
As the site of numerous border battles throughout history, Northumberland boasts more castles than anywhere else in England, as well as Roman ruins such as the UNESCO-listed Hadrian’s Wall. But this region has a peaceful side too, as you’ll see in its rustic villages and secluded sandy beaches.
