Northumbria Coastline, Newcastle & Medieval Alnwick
5 days
5 Day Select Holiday
We stay in cosmopolitan Newcastle, a pulsating metropolis united by seven bridges that span the River Tyne and an exciting base for our enjoyably varied holiday. The city’s bustling Quayside area features bars and cafes as well as the iconic Millennium Bridge – a striking structure and the world’s only tilting bridge. Take a sightseeing boat trip on the River Tyne or visit the enthralling Norman Castle, which stands on ground previously occupied by a Roman fort. It has fascinating medieval dungeons and offers spectacular cityscape views. Head to the Life Science Museum where you’ll find a stunning seven metre recreation of planet Earth and the Space Zone with its replica of the international space station as well as a state-of-the-art planetarium.

Your Excursions
Guided Tour of Alnwick Castle Grounds, Alnwick Castle & Alnwick GardensWe join our guide for a tour of the castle’s historic grounds, taking in its tower, learning about its 900 year history and hearing intriguing tales about the families who lived there throughout the centuries. We also include entry into the fortress, which is the second largest inhabited castle in the UK and has been used as military outpost, haven for evacuees, and a filmset for dramas such as Downton Abbey, as well as a family home. Afterwards, we visit Alnwick Gardens.
Morpeth & Newcastle-upon-Tyne
A morning visit to Morpeth, where you’ll find an ancient castle and the thirteenth century Grade I listed Chantry that houses a large collection of bagpipes. There are also independent shops and traditional tearooms. Afternoon is free in Newcastle – the castle, Life Science Museum and the Quayside area are all popular attractions.
Lindisfarne & Seahouses
Lindisfarne is a World Heritage Site and an isle that is said to be the birthplace of Christianity. This tidal island boasts stunning scenery and is where you can follow in the footsteps of the monks who built their priory here 1400 years ago.
