Northumberland National Park is the most northerly park in England and lies between the Scottish border and Hadrian’s Wall. The Park covers an area of 1,049km, or 405 square miles.

The Northumberland National Park landscapes include everything from bogs and swamps, to rolling farmlands and patches of forest, to steep hills and striking Roman ruins.

Northumberland National Park was officially designated on the 6th April 1956.
