Hotels in Northumberland, United Kingdom

Northumberland, in northeast England near the Scottish border, has cool summers averaging 65°F (18°C) and cold winters around 40°F (4°C), known for Hadrian's Wall, a 73-mile Roman fortification from 122 AD. In summer, you can hike the wall's central section from Housesteads to Steel Rigg, while winter offers fewer crowds at Bamburgh Castle, a 6th-century fortress overlooking the North Sea. The region also includes the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, reachable only at low tide, with its 7th-century monastery ruins and birdwatching in the mudflats.
