Northumberland is home to the loneliest stretches of moorland and coast in the country. It has much to offer the nature lover, walking enthusiast, history buff, gastronome and gardener: incredible wildlife, Georgian architecture, the Pennine Way, Alnwick Gardens and Alnwick Castle, featured in the Harry Potter films. Gemma Hall shares her love of Northumberland guiding visitors from historic towns and villages through outdoor swimming opportunities, to high altitude flower meadows and the wooded gorges of the Durham coast.
