Northumberland

A Motorhome, Campervan and Caravan Touring Guide to Hadrian's Wall, Kielder, the Cheviots and the Coast, with Walks, Real Maps and the Pubs at the End of Them

Six touring bases across Northumberland, from Hadrian's Wall and Kielder to the Cheviots, Holy Island and Craster, each one a place to stay for a few nights without moving the van. For every base you get somewhere to park up and the reason to choose it, the walks, the pub worth stopping at, a wet-day plan and a plan for the days.

  • 26 walks with maps and the official distances, from Steel Rigg and Crag Lough to Simonside, Yeavering Bell, the Pilgrims' Way and Dunstanburgh Castle
  • A driving map for every base: low bridges, width limits and the car parks a motorhome can use
  • Campsites for motorhomes, campervans and caravans, checked and dated, with club members-only sites flagged
  • Three overnight stopovers in writing: Kielder Castle car park, and the council's bookable bays at Bamburgh and Beadnell
  • The Holy Island causeway: where the safe crossing times come from, and the rule for walking across the sands
