Whilst we are NT Members and visited for free, I'm conscious that it is quite pricey for non-members (currently £13.00 per adult/ £38.00 per family for house and gardens). It is however, well worth the price if you make a full day of it! Extensive gardens, unique hydro-electric power system, remarkable house, great childrens play areas and a delightful 5-6 mile drive all within the site with numerous stop-off points to enjoy walks, picnic areas and lakeside views. The cafe/restaurant is not cheap but the food we had was delicious. Note that the House is not open every day - check out the national Trust for details and restrictions, especially during gthe Winter months. To fully appreciate the intriguing story of Lord Armstrong (the previous owner of the property), a visit to Bambough castle (not National Trust) is also highly recommended, and we found it really enjoyable and fascinating.

This place is totally amazing, when we went in i was a little disappointed that they weren't doing the bird of prey displays, but i soon changed my mind. first we looked at all the birds, and they do have many to see, but the highlight was being able to watch the very knowledgeable staff feed 3 of the birds, and they told us so much about the birds, they fed a falcon, a small grey owl and an American barn owl that was only 14 weeks old. This truly was the highlight of our holiday. I hope lots of people visit, particularly at the moment in these troubled times.

I booked the owl encounter pack as part of a Christmas present for my gifriend and her mam. We received a warm welcome from Mandy and Bruce (the dog) and were invited to look around the park before starting the owl encounter. We received high-quality information in a warm and friendly way about how the animals are housed, their diet and about each of their unique characteristics. It was brilliant to see these amazing animals up close and personal and to be able handle them; following Mandy's expert advice really put us at ease. We will definitely be visiting again!

We went as a family of 4 with our 2 boys (age 2 & 4). It was reptile day so we got to see and hold snakes, lizards, millipede, rat, baby owls and then the tarantula. The kids totally loved it and were buzzing. Me and Mum loved it too and managed to come out of our comfort zones by holding the tarantula and snake. The staff were so good with us they made it easy. I think we all enjoyed it as much as each other. I thoroughly recommend this for all ages. The staff really make the difference and make the experience good for kids & adults.

The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is among the finest landscape of the country. It was designated in 1958 and covers 39 miles of coast from Berwick to the Coquet Estuary. Within this stretch of coastline is some of the most dramatic coastal scenery - sweeping sandy beaches, rolling dunes, high rocky cliffs and isolated islands.

Dog friendly sandy beaches stretching for miles and miles with sand dunes, which the dogs loved to explore, easy to park and Dog poo bins in car parks. Stunning views out across the sea to Holy Island, many seabirds, deserted beaches or very few people.We walked Seahouses, Bamburgh, Ross, Dunstan Steads, and Low Newton beaches over 4 days. Stopping at various pubs for a hearty lunch with our dogs. The coastline is stunning, castles, sand dunes etc

Took to the beach from 6am to 6pm gorgeous and very long, plenty of room for everyone ! You’ll need to bring everything with you as there’s no shops anywhere here !

A lovely walk along a well preserved section of Hadrians Wall. It is a bit up and down with some steep inclines and some sections with steps up. Gives great views across Northumberland
