A visitor to Northumberland has praised the walking opportunities that are available in the county.
Writing for MercuryNews.com, Marta Yamamoto described taking a trip on foot in the area as being a “delightful experience”, be it along the shore or inland.
She noted that there are some parts of the landscape where the number of people are outnumbered by the quantity of sheep and cows, while inland “picturesque” waterways and “broad panoramic vistas” can be seen.
“My favourites were the coastal walks, where I gazed at the endless sea and ever-changing sky,” she told the news source adding, that St. Cuthbert’s Cave – found in the village of Belford – was a great place to stop for lunch an explore a “hidden valley” featuring sandstone formations covered in pink and purple heather.
A growing number of tourists may be heading to stay in Northumberland holiday cottages in the future, after the region”s tourism body announced it is launching a new identity to help attract visitors.
