Northumberland, a magical place filled with ancient castles, golden sand beaches, rolling hills, rugged moorland and stunning skies.

Northumberland is home to England’s least visited national park, meaning you can escape into the hills and avoid the crowds even during busy holiday periods.

There are also two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty waiting to be captured, the Northumberland Coast with its golden sand beaches and awesome castles, and the North Pennines with its heather covered hills and extraordinary wildlife.

The vast majority of the remaining sections of Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site can be found in Northumberland, with five of the eight excavated forts and endless stretches of unbroken wall rising and falling over dramatic landscapes.

"Paul has always been drawn to wild and often remote places and the dominant theme in his work has been Himalayan mountains first visited in 1979. Since living in Hexham the surrounding Northumberland landscape has provided him with a new source of inspiration.."
