Roman ruins, medieval castles, picturesque villages, and endless sandy beaches make Northumberland – a beautiful county in the northeast of England – a must-see. Visit Alnwick Castle where Hogwarts, the magical school in the timeless Harry Potter movies was filmed. Sip Earl Grey tea in Howick Hall, the place where the tea originated. Enjoy a ramble in Berwick’s pristine and usually crowd-free beaches, indulge in a bike ride in Boulmer’s picturesque coasts, or hike through sand dunes to reach Bamburgh Castle. Also, see a piece of Roman architecture by camping near Hadrian’s Wall. And don’t leave Northumberland without visiting the enchanting Farne Island, where thousands of seabirds and a big colony of grey seals dwell.
