Enjoy the medieval fortress of Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, renowned as one of Britain’s most haunted locations. Its ghostly legends include the Blue Boy, whose cries echo through the Pink Room before a mysterious blue light appears. The Lady in White roams the castle’s hall with unexplained footsteps and sudden icy drafts. When the moonlight casts shadows of the battlements across the flagstones, it is hard not to see the shades and shadows come to life.

The Holy Island
The Holy IslandHoly Island is a must-visit on any break to Northumberland which enjoys a unique sense of isolation when cut off by the tide.
Steeped in religious history and culture, the island is the birthplace of the Lindisfarne Gospels but you don't need a religious reason to visit this area, with dramatic scenery provided by Lindisfarne Castle and surrounding wildlife creating wonderful photographic opportunities.
A trip to Holy Island is the highlight of any coach break to Northumberland.
