The low-lying Northumberland coast , stretching 64 miles north from Newcastle to the Scottish border, boasts many of the region's principal attractions, but first you have to clear the disfigured landscape of the old Northumbrian coalfield. Beyond Amble you emerge into a pastoral landscape that spreads over the thirty-odd miles to Berwick-upon-Tweed. On the way there's a succession of mighty fortresses, beginning with Warkworth Castle and Alnwick

Castle , former and present strongholds of the Percys, the county's biggest landowners. Further along, there's the formidable fastness of Bamburgh and then, last of all, the magnificent Elizabethan ramparts surrounding Berwick-upon-Tweed . In between you'll find splendid sandy beaches - notably at Warkworth, Bamburgh and the small resort of Alnmouth - as well as Lindisfarne monastery on Holy Island and the sea-bird and nature reserve of the Farne Islands .
