Northumberland is England's northernmost county, a sparsely populated stretch of moorland, castles and empty beaches between Hadrian's Wall and the Scottish border, with more castles than any other English county. Tour Alnwick Castle and the Alnwick Garden, walk Hadrian's Wall at Housesteads Roman Fort, see Bamburgh Castle above the dunes and cross the causeway to Lindisfarne Castle.
