NORTHUMBERLAND

Northumberland is an historic county in North East England bordering Scotland. The county contains Northumberland National Park famed for its dark sky status and stunning coastlines and beaches. Much of the county's history has been defined by its position on the border. In the Roman era most of the county lay north of Hadrian’s Wall, and the region was contested between England and Scotland into the Early Modern era, leading to the construction of many castles, peel towers, and the fortifications at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Northumberland is also associated with Celtic Christinaity, particularly the tidal island of Lindisfarne.
