Your Itinerary

Monday 13th: Today we enjoy time in the town of Alnwick. We include a visit to the delightful Alnwick Garden, described by the Victorians as the ‘Windsor of the North’, you could also visit Alnwick Castle as an optional extra, and explore the traditional cobbled town centre.
Tuesday 14th: We journey through beautiful Northumberland National Park to the capital of Coquetdale, Rothbury. This was once a popular health resort where people came to take in the air and enjoy its riverside setting. From here we head to magnificent Cragside House. The former home of Lord and Lady Armstrong is now in the care of the National Trust, it was the first house to be lit by electricity, making it the original smart home. The house is fascinating, and the gardens spectacular.
