Northumberland

Places of interest:
Bamburgh Castle (some of Harry Potter was filmed here)
Holy Island and Lindisfarne
Alnwick
The beaches and dunes
The National Park
Go see the puffins and seals too! :-)

If you want to go to the Farne Islands to see puffins and other sea birds the best time to go is April-July. Don’t do as we did and go in September when they’ve all cleared off back to sea.
