A self-guided walking holiday along the coast of Northumberland, visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
From £340 per person
The Northumberland Coast Path walking holiday tours wild, unspoilt countryside, where castle ruins loom on the headands above long beaches of golden sand.
This gentle, low-level walk is predominantly coastal but arcs inland once — to enjoy stunning views of the coast from St Cuthbert’s Cave — but otherwise clings to the Northumbrian shoreline. 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, this is a pretty, approachable and friendly section of the England Coast Path. It covers 74 miles, but we also offer a Highlights tour that spans 28 miles and hits our absolute favourite sections along the way.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £650 per person
This holiday option explores the length of the Northumberland Coast Path along 72 miles of incredible terrain, from the town of Cresswell up to Berwick-upon-Tweed near the Scottish border.
Walk along golden beaches beneath ruined castles towering on the headlands. The Northumberland Coast Path tours a wild, unspoilt region full of history, winding northwards and showcasing everything this lesser-known trail has to offer.

“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
“A delightful walk from start to finish.”Mr Eastwood, UK
“Beautiful area, enjoyed in spectacular weather. We were very lucky!”Mrs Wilde, UK
“Spectacular walk, and terrific weather.”Ms Ottenberg, USA
“Particularly enjoyed Holy Island. Beautiful hotel room with iconic views.”Ms Reid, Canada
“My friend and I had a very enjoyable walking holiday. The weather was perfect, the accommodations ranged from satisfactory to excellent. The info folder was excellent. The taxi was on time. The luggage transfers were seamless. Would most certainly book another holiday with you. We like the way the walking holidays are organized very much.”Mr Cramer, Netherlands
“Overall we were very pleased. Since we'd never been to Britain before, and were worried about losing our way, we bought a handheld GPS and downloaded your files. They were very helpful. We have friends who are interested, and now that we're back, we plan to encourage them to book too! Our bucket list is long, but we hope to make it back to the UK and would love to do another walking holiday.”Mrs Sampson, USA
“Brilliant. Lovely walk. Very well organised. This was our third holiday with Contours and we have two more in the pipeline.”Prof Creighton, UK
“This was one of the highlights of my life. I will go back.”Mr Cook, USA
