A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £374 per person
The Northumberland Coast Path walking holiday tours wild, unspoilt countryside, where castle ruins loom on the headlands above long beaches of golden sand.
This gentle, low-level walk is predominantly coastal, with one arc inland to enjoy stunning views of the coast from St Cuthbert’s Cave. Castles adorn the rocky cliffs, and at low tide, you can make your way across a tidal causeway to Holy Island to explore the extensive ruins of Lindisfarne Priory.
With plenty of beach walking between bustling seaside towns, the complete Northumberland Coast Path is a pretty, approachable and friendly section of the England Coast Path. We also offer a Northumberland Coast Highlights tour that spans 28 miles and hits our absolute favourite sections along the way.

“Easy walking along a well signed route. The coastal walking and views are excellent. The beaches are long and virtually empty. The villages and coastal towns are welcoming and have good places to eat. We continue to enjoy excellent service from you as we have done down the years - thankyou.”Mr Welford, UK
“A perfect combination of walking and sightseeing.”Mr Mountford, UK
“Beautiful part of the country - super deserted beaches excellent for a dog. Interesting historical sites along the way. Accommodation very good with friendly welcomes. Weather excellent! Lovely walking experience to discover one of Britain's best kept secrets.”Mr Robinson, UK
“We found all the accommodations very clean and the staff helpful. The best one was Malabar in Seahouses (Five Stars!) It was well arranged by the Contours team, at quite short notice and we appreciate the work you have put in.”Mr Howatt, UK
“This was the first walk I ever did with Contours back in April 2010 (but it was then in the other direction), and I’ve wanted to revisit it for a while. It’s a stunning stretch of coastline with lots of things to see along the way. Definitely a good route to try for anyone new to long-distance walking, as it’s mainly flat and has very good waymarking.”Mr Julyan, UK
“Wonderful route and weather. Your administration was once again first class.”Mr Richardson, UK
“The Northumberland Coast Path covers a very interesting and lovely area which was unknown to us previously. The mileage agreed was perfect allowing us time to explore the towns and villages.”Mrs Butcher, UK
“A year late because of covid, but worth the wait. We have recommended you to some friends coming over from NZ next year (maybe), they followed our Northumberland walk online and fell in love with the land and seascapes.”Mr Cairns, UK
“Brilliant. Lovely walk. Very well organised. This was our third holiday with Contours and we have two more in the pipeline.”Prof Creighton, UK
