Fortress Northumbria
& Scotland's Capital

5 Day Coach Tours - 7% Discount

Tour Highlights
Edinburgh, Bamburgh, Segedunum Roman Fort & Experience, Warkworth Castle, Northumberland coastline
Northumberland

The gently rolling landscapes of Nothumberland were for many centuries the battleground for warring clans and bitter fought battles, and the legends live on among the ruined castles and ancient battlements. Our new five day tour explores this wonderfully unspoilt corner of England, and also includes a full day visit to Scotland's fine capital city - Edinburgh. Our base is Morpeth, in the heart of Northumberland, a pleasant country market town lying on a bend of the scenic River Wansbeck.


Your Excursions


FULL DAY

An early start as we cross the Cheviot Hills and Scottish Border Country to reach Edinburgh - Scotland's majestic capital city. Enjoy free time to visit Edinburgh Castle, stroll the Royal Mile to the Palace of Holyroodhouse - the Queen's official Scottish residence, or browse the shops on Princes Street.

FULL DAY
This morning we head to Bamburgh, overlooking the Farne Islands and where the castle, visible for miles around, dominates the skyline. Whilst in the town local heroine Grace Darling is commemorated for saving many lives from the wreck of the SS Forfarshire in 1838. We continue along the scenic coastal road to Warkworth Castle (admission included) - one of the largest and most impressive fortresses in the North East and once home to 'Harry Hotspur', hero of many border ballads for his battles against the Scots in the 14th Century.


HALF DAY
This morning we make our way to Wallsend, by the mighty River Tyne, to visit Segedunum (admission included) at the eastern gateway of Hadrian's Wall. Here the Roman fort has been painstakingly excavated and you can view this and the wall from a 35 metre viewing tower. Also experience a full-size Roman Bath re-construction and the story of Wallsend from Roman times through to its shipbuilding heyday.
