Northumberland is a fantastic place to visit for a holiday. With so much to see and do, you'll have plenty to keep you occupied. Beach View and Island View are situated in Spittal, just two miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, and have stunning views of the surrounding area.
Berwick has always been a very important Borders town throughout history. It has changed hands between the Scots and the English, and was a prized possession of Queen Elizabeth the first, who built immense fortified walls around the town. These impressive fortifications and canons are still in an incredible state of preservation today.

The coast of Northumberland is a World Heritage site, with spectacular golden sandy beaches, castles, and islands.
Bamburgh Castle, a short distance from Berwick, was once the seat of the Northumbrian kings.
|
The holy island of Lindisfarne, is the birthplace of Christianity in England, and it was there that St Bede founded his abbey.
The island is reached by a mile long tidal causeway, and has a most impressive castle, which can be seen for many miles around as it stands on a rocky bluff high above the sea.
The castle was once owned and remodelled by Edwin Lutyens, and has a walled vegetable garden by Gertrude Jekyll.
