🏝️ Holy Island
Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne, is one of Northumberland’s most memorable places to visit, with a peaceful atmosphere and a setting that feels a world away. When the causeway is open, it’s a fascinating spot to explore, with sweeping coastal views, a small village to wander through, and plenty of corners that invite you to slow down and take it all in.
During your time on the island, you can enjoy a relaxed stroll, browse the local shops, or settle into a café for something warm. Whether you’re drawn to the history, the scenery, or simply the calm feel of the place, Holy Island is a special stop that tends to leave a lasting impression.
🕰️ Beamish Living Museum of the North
Beamish is one of those places that’s hard not to enjoy - a living museum that brings the North’s past to life in a way that feels genuinely immersive. Rather than looking at history behind glass, you’re stepping into it, with period streets, buildings, and everyday scenes that help you picture what life was really like across different eras.
With plenty of space to explore at your own pace, you can wander in and out of the different areas, take in the details, and enjoy the atmosphere as the day unfolds. Whether you’re there for the old-fashioned shops, the transport, the homes and workplaces, or just the feeling of being transported back in time, it’s a brilliant visit and a real highlight of the tour.
