Discover Northumberland National Park

We are home to England’s cleanest rivers, clearest air and darkest skies.

Delve into our Roman past by visiting Hadrian’s Wall or soak up the stunning scenery and solitude of the Cheviot Hills. Relax in picturesque valleys, visit spectacular waterfalls and woodland or walk through stunning moorland and beautiful hay meadows.

The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre and Walltown Visitor Centre are open; find more information here.

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.
