Northumberland National Park

As the Government continues to ease lockdown restrictions, we are looking at how we can gradually reopen our visitor facilities.

We are offering a take-away service at Walltown Visitor Centre and at The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre. Opening times will be from 10am to 5pm, Friday to Sunday. From Monday 20th July 2020, The Sill will open seven days a week.

We would like to thank our communities, staff, volunteers, and visitors for continuing to be understanding and vigilant during this time.

For more information, please follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
