Northumberland has lots to do and enjoy for children of all ages. Many of the country parks and historic properties include activities for children during the school holidays. You can go sailing and rock pooling at the coast, take part in adventure activities at the country parks and discover the local wildlife. There are also a variety of places for letting off steam on rainy days. Not forgetting the beaches!
