I’ve been living in the UK now for 8 years and I’ve hardly seen the country. I’ve been to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Belfast and Ludlow but I know that there is more to see in these great British isles. Northumbria, for example, remains unexplored for yours truly. Now, I have been to Newcastle in the past but it was for work and I didn’t even get to see the city centre much less the surrounding areas so I hardly know what can you do and see there.

The more popular and known attractions are the Angel of the North (see image on right) and the Newcastle United Stadium. Now before the Geordies start leaving nasty comments on this post, let me clarify that these attractions are the ones that I, myself alone, know of that region. There are — and I mean, there ARE — much more to see and do in Northumbria. There is Hadrian’s Wall, which was built to keep Roman England from raids from the ancient inhabitants of Scotland. Then there is the Northumberland National Park where one could find the Europe’s largest man-made lake. There are much to with the arts like the Hatton Gallery and Fifiefofum. There is no doubt that Northumbria has a lot to offer the visitor and the traveler.

For accommodations, why not hire a cottage? Not only will it give you great savings but also the chance for that homely feel of the countryside. Look for that perfect Scottish borders cottages by choosing the area where you want to stay. Northumbrian Cottages certainly has plenty to select from with reasonable prices for stays of a minimum of 7 days. Also, if you have a place that you wish to let, they can also help and act as your agent.
