To be honest, you could stick a pin in the map and find a great view wherever it landed! But here’s our favourite picturesque places, with images from photographer Jane Coltman. (My personal favourite is number 15 – and that’s not me in the picture!)
9. Alnwick Castle from the Lion Bridge
The best view of Alnwick Castle. The straight-tailed Percy Lion was commissioned by the 1st Duke of Northumberland and stands on the east parapet of the Lion Bridge. It makes for a very imposing view as you enter the town of Alnwick. Photo: Jane Coltman
10. Beadnell Bay
A typical Northumberland beach. The magnificent sweep of Beadnell Bay is a definite destination for those on the tourist trail. Photo: Jane Coltman
11. College Valley
College Valley is situated in north Northumberland on the northern edge of the Cheviot Hills, an area of renowned beauty. The estate extends to some 12,000 acres and is part of the benefits left by Sir James Knott, successful business man, politician and philanthropist. Photo: Jane Coltman
12. Holy Island causeway
There is something mesmerising about watching the tide ebb and flow across the causeway to Holy Island. Photo: Jane Coltman
