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
5. Lindisfarne Priory
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,521 reviews
Please note that due to the tidal causeway opening hours will vary. English Heritage is a Charitable Trust taking care of over 400 historic sites throughout England. Lindisfarne Priory is one of these very precious sites. A substantial site where almost 1400 years ago St. Aidan, brought here by King Oswald, chose Lindisfarne to build his church and bring Christianity to the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria. Follow those years through our museum and exhibition and then walk through St. Mary's churchyard to the dramatic ruins where you can walk in the footsteps of the monks who inhabited this 12C Priory and monastic buildings. Being a member of English Heritage or paying the admission fee makes sure that English Heritage can carry on preserving our ancient sites for generations to come. Last entry to Lindisfarne Priory is 1 hour before closing time. Hours of opening may vary due to the tides. For your own safety please check the tide times carefully.

For many years, I viewed Lindisfarne only from a train window and was determined to get there one day, which I eventually did at the end of a long-distance walk called the St Cuthbert's Way. Timing the tides and walking the lengthy causeway before it becomes an island again, add to what is already an atmospheric and spiritual trip. I enjoyed it so much that I went back a few years later to spend more time there and experience its special character and atmosphere. Lindisfarne is steeped in history (not least the Vikings!), religion (not least the St Cuthbert connection) and nature (there are some wonderful nature trails/bird sanctuaries), and provides a great day out for a wide range of interests. There's also a fantastic centuries' old pub with great beer and food. All in all, Lindisfarne provides a memorable holiday experience and anyone who is in that part of the country should make the effort to visit and experience this special place.

Berwick's Town walls are an outstanding example of their type and are unusual in incorporating lengthy portions of strongly built earthworks. They did their job of keeping out the Scots exceedingly well. They survive in surprisingly good condition and can be walked along for much of their length providing extensive views of the town, the sea and the surrounding Northumbrian countryside,

When I entered my reaction was 'Wow!' to Mary Fleeson's amazing artwork. I bought a 2018 calendar and a number of cards.On reaching home I signed up online and will definitely be ordering items as gifts for family and friends, (and for me too!)
8. Lady Waterford Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 72 reviews
This striking building served as the village school for nearly 100 years, and houses an unique collection of 19th century watercolour murals, smaller original paintings and sketches by Louisa, Marchioness of Waterford. Situated on the Ford & Etal Estates this venue welcomes visitors of all ages with plenty to discover for children or the child in you. THE HALL IS OPEN SEASONALLY LATE MARCH-END OCTOBER THEREFORE IT IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE WINTER

We had a super family visit to Lady Waterford Hall. The lady on the welcome desk was super friendly and brilliant with the children. The artworks are superb and interpretation interesting. We also enjoyed the reminiscences on the short film. Ford village was busy with people doing the Halloween trail, but I don’t know how many came in here - such a shame as they’re missing a treat.

We walked a couple of sections of Hadrian's Wall, totally wonderful. Tough going at times with ups and downs, the scenery is stunning in all weathers.

Reviewed By wagatron - Crewe, United Kingdom
We did come originally at lunchtime on 27 August, however we could not park at steel rig car park. Therefore we came back on our way home and got there at 8am on 30 August. Hardly anyone around and the most beautiful and well worth the early morning get up. What an experience and to see a film location from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves where Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner walked the wall. Highly recommended.
