Part of Bradt’s distinctive, award-winning series of ‘Slow’ travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated, third edition of the best-selling Northumberland (Slow Travel) provides a reliable, wide-ranging, detailed and accessible font of inspiration and information for discovering the unexpected, varied and increasingly popular riches of northeasternmost England.   Northumberland is much loved for its beaches, wildlife, islands and desolate upland scenery, but despite all the attention and accolades (‘most tranquil county’, ‘darkest night skies in England’, ‘best beaches’), most of the county remains wonderfully crowd-free.

Reisgids Northumberland | Sacristy Press
Reisgids Northumberland | Sacristy Press
Northumberland, one of the most sparsely-populated counties in England, with unique features like the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Hadrian’s Wall, was also a crucible of European civilization and remains a treasury of culture. Giving birth to railways worldwide through George Stephenson, it saw the beginnings of hydraulics, hydro-electricity and turbines and, with Joseph Swan, witnessed the earliest light from electric incandescent lamps; it was a laboratory of invention. Northumberland has, however, changed dramatically over the course of the last century: deep coal-mining, shipbuilding and much heavy engineering have gone, but new industries have flowered. So, the largest man-made lake in northwest Europe, lying within the largest man-made forest is set within the north west of the county, bringing water in abundance and supporting entirely new leisure and tourist activities. The lower Tyne has been transformed both architecturally, and culturally. This unique guide to England’s m…

Reisgids 111 places in Northumberland You Shouldn't miss | Emons
Northumberland is the 'Land of the Far Horizon' and England's most northerly county. It was once a place of industrial innovation and manufacturing, literally fuelled by the coal brought up from its depths. Now Northumberland is a quieter place, loved by residents and visitors alike for its rolling hills and long, sandy beaches, as well as its charming towns and villages. With this book in hand, meet Grace Darling, a Victorian heroine who took to storm-tossed seas to help rescue survivors of a terrible shipwreck; visit Amble, the 'Friendliest Port', and discover its connection to the Mauretania, once the fastest passenger ship to sail the Atlantic; and take in Turner's View, an atmospheric stretch of coastline that was a lifelong inspiration to Britain's greatest landscape painter. You can also take a walk to the top of Cheviot, the county's highest mountain and what was once a massive and very active volcano; and then top it off in the tranquil setting of St Cuthbert's Island, where …

Fietskaart Sandstone Way - Northumberland Cycle Route Map | Northern Heritage Services
The Sandstone Way is a 120-mile mountain biking route between Berwick upon Tweed and Hexham that runs along the sandstone ridge in North Northumberland, linking numerous sandstone crags and outcrops. From one end of Northumberland to the other, the Sandstone Way traverses an ever-changing landscape which is rich in history, geology and iconic scenery.   Both Hexham and Berwick upon Tweed are served by rail. Between these two towns, the route passes through numerous villages and small communities including Wooler, Rothbury and Bellingham. It has been designed to safely cross rivers, main roads and railways.   The Sandstone Way is designed for mountain bikers and as much of the route as possible is off-road. It will appeal to riders of all abilities and most will take 3 or 4 days to complete it. The ‘fit and the fast’ could possibly ride the route in 2 days but in all probability, most would wish they had taken 3 days. Almost certainly a few mountain bikers will try to ride the whole ro…

Productomschrijving

Een bijzondere serie van Bradt guides, waarin een gedeelte van Engeland of Schotland uitgebreid beschreven wordt. Met veel aandacht voor kleine details die je niet al gauw elders zult vinden. Naast de beschrijvende informatie vind je ook een schat aan praktische informatie als accommodatie-adressen of leuke pubs. Een aanrader!

Part of Bradt’s distinctive, award-winning series of ‘Slow’ travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated, third edition of the best-selling Northumberland (Slow Travel) provides a reliable, wide-ranging, detailed and accessible font of inspiration and information for discovering the unexpected, varied and increasingly popular riches of northeasternmost England.   Northumberland is much loved for its beaches, wildlife, islands and desolate upland scenery, but despite all the attention and accolades (‘most tranquil county’, ‘darkest night skies in England’, ‘best beaches’), most of the county remains wonderfully crowd-free. Getting away from it all is straightforward, whether you walk all afternoon over moorland and not meet anyone, skinny-dip in lakes, picnic on pristine sands with nobody else around, or gaze at stars in Europe’s largest area of protected night sky – England’s first Dark Sky Park, a 572-square-mile expanse that now hosts an annual Dark Sky Festival.   In Northumberland, history buffs have masses to explore. In addition to Hadrian’s Wall, Britain’s most important Roman monument – along which footpaths, public transport, accommodation and eating options have recently improved greatly – no county hosts more castles. Visit fortifications at Alnwick (Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films), Bamburgh (featured in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) and Dunstanburgh – all of which are detailed extensively in the guide alongside lesser-known heritage sites such as Aydon Castle, the Iron Age hill forts of Breamish Valley, medieval tower houses, Bronze Age stone circles and landmark historic houses open to the public, including Cragside, Belsay and Wallington Hall.   Northumberland (Slow Travel) encourages visitors to slow down and explore the green lanes, footpaths, rivers and cycle trails linking Northumberland’s coast with the interior’s heather-topped hills, Roman fortresses and the villages. Dedicated chapters celebrate the Northumberland National Park, Hadrian’s Wall, the Heritage Coast and Newcastle, while local insights about historic towns, heritage sites, wildlife-watching spots and some 30 countryside walks, plus words and tips from local experts make this an authoritative book – as much an entertaining armchair read as a practical guide. The result is perfect for walkers, birdwatchers, cyclists, families, and anyone interested in Roman archaeology, industrial heritage and medieval castles.
