Buying a house in Northumberland

England's most northerly point and boasting rugged landscapes and a glorious coast, Northumberland is far from the madding crowds yet close to a major city in Newcastle.

This is a historic county that borders Scotland, and a nod to the often-turbulent relationship between the two neighbours is in the fact that Northumberland has more castles than any other part of England.

Where are the best home-mover destinations in Northumberland?

There are lots of attractive locations within Northumberland, thanks to its natural beauty and the unspoilt nature of many towns and villages. Among the most sought-after are the market towns of Alnwick, famed for its castle, which featured in the Harry Potter movies, and pretty Morpeth, where upmarket shopping has transformed the area.

In the very north of the county is Berwick-upon-Tweed, the town that changed hands between Scotland and England several times during border skirmishes but has been resolutely on the south of the border since the 13th century. Its fortified town walls remain a testament to a turbulent history.

Northumberland's most popular coastal locations include Bamburgh (featuring yet another castle), Seahouses and Alnmouth, while Ashington's rail links make it a fashionable commuter choice. Inland, look to Rothbury and Corbridge.


Which council has control of schooling in Northumberland?

Northumberland County Council is the local authority responsible for all state education in the county. There are also independent and academy schools. You can use the government's school comparison website to check the Ofsted ranking of your chosen school.


Did you know?

Northumberland takes its name from its ancient kingdom, once the biggest in the British Isles. The kingdom stretched from the River Humber, near Hull, to the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, creating the name Northumberland.

Holy Island is a tidal island off the Northumberland coast, which has been a religious site since the sixth century. In the Victorian era, lime quarrying took place on the island with lime kilns fired by coal imported there from Scotland.
