The Photographer’s Guide to Northumberland

Discover the best photography locations in Northumberland with this detailed guide book.

The stunning Northumberland Coast has some of the finest photo locations in the UK, with romantic castles, miles of glorious golden beaches, elegant grass-covered dunes and dramatic shoreline geology. This irresistible mix creates a wealth of potential for seascapes and inner landscapes alike.

It’s an outstanding area to explore for photography, but you’ll find there’s plenty more to Northumberland if you venture inland. The countryside has various hidden gems, from secret waterfalls and ancient monuments to marvellous heather moorlands, as well as more magnificent castles. And last, but by no means least, there’s Hadrian’s Wall – an impressive feat of Roman engineering with many atmospheric and photogenic locations along its length.

The book is split into the following sections:

Section 1: The Coast Part 1 – Berwick to Holy Island
Section 2: The Coast Part 2 – Bamburgh to Alnmouth
Section 3: The Coast Part 3 – Amble to Tynemouth
Section 4: Castles & Countryside
Section 5: Hadrian’s Wall.
