The county of Northumberland is a perfect destination for a Shearings self drive holiday. Boasting some of the most beautiful and natural scenery in the whole of England, it is a stunning place to explore. Having the luxury of your own vehicle and so many places to visit and attractions to see, it’s the ideal place for a week away in the country.

With fabulous towns and villages, such as Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Rothbury and Seahouses, to Bellingham and Alnmouth, there are many quaint places to visit and stop for a coffee and a slice of cake. With Holy Island and the Farne Islands located at the coast or the spooky castles, such as Chillingham Castle, there is a diverse range of things to do.

Being on a Shearings self drive holiday to Northumberland means you need a good place to stay and the George Hotel in Chollerford is the perfect choice. Stunning views, amazing bedrooms and superb leisure facilities of a jacuzzi bath, swimming pool and steam room, all housed in a grand 18th century building makes for a trip to remember. The grounds of the George Hotel are simply amazing, thanks to the carefully manicured lawns and colourful plants and flowers. Each of the 50 rooms in the hotel have exceptional views of the nearby landscape that are breathtaking. Being just a short drive from the fun-loving city of Newcastle Upon Tyne and even closer to the upmarket streets of Hexham.

From game fishing, hiking and mountain biking in the stunning forests of the Northumberland National Park, there are lots of activities to partake in, although being on a Shearings self drive holiday to Northumberland makes it more preferably to simple explore the rolling countryside and see the valleys and the fabulous views from the comfort of your own car.
