Although many of the main attractions are closed for the season, there are an abundance of beautiful walks along our stunning beaches, such as Bamburgh and Embleton or further afield at Druridge Bay, not forgetting the fabulous Barter Books, a brilliant place to visit and to just soak up the fantastic atmosphere in a fascinating Grade II Listed Victorian former railway station, with roaring coal fires, more books that you can possibly imagine and a cafe selling a wide range of delicious homemade lunches, light snacks and afternoon teas. Cragside, home of Victorian pioneer, Lord William Armstrong, is open throughout the low season and this fascinating house and grounds is an absolute must-visit.
