– Kielder Water, the largest man-made lake in Northern Europe
– More castles than in any other English County, including Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland
– Many National Trust and English Heritage places to visit

It is no surprise that Northumberland won the ‘Best UK Region for Families’ in the 2016 Family Traveller Awards and was awarded Silver in the ‘Best UK Holiday County/Destination’ in the 2016 British Travel Awards. Northumberland has also proved a popular spot with the general public, after they crowned the Northumberland Coast ‘Holiday Destination of the Year’ and Embleton Bay as ‘Beach of the Year’ in the BBC Countryfile Magazine Awards 2017.
