Top 4 Reasons To Own A Caravan In Northumberland

There are many wonderful places of tourist and local interest in the UK. Most of the well known and more frequented ones are the sights that tour operators ensure they cover for their group. While that is laudable and these places should not be missed at all, there are other lesser known places within each County that are as attractive and do not deserve to be missed. The only reason why they are not included in the usual itinerary is their isolation at times and the fact that there is only so much you can cover within the tight schedule that tour operators have to operate in.
Now tourists obviously cannot afford to have an extended holiday in a foreign country due to constraints of time and money. But locals can definitely enjoy these places in an unhurried manner by caravanning. For example, there are many lovely attractions within Northumberland that you as a local can visit when you consider the caravans for sale in Northumberland offer and purchase one of them.
The advantages of caravanning are well known to most of us. The sheer flexibility it allows along with the conveniences that are built into most modern caravans make them good enough to be considered as a viable alternative for sightseeing.
When it comes to caravans for sale in Northumberland, apart from the potential to earn rental as well as capital income out of the caravan you purchase, there are five strong tourist attractions why you should consider investing in one. These are places that you can visit anytime you wish to once you have your holiday caravan parked in Northumberland.
Let us look at them briefly:
a) The Hadrian's Wall is a very well known monument that separates England from Scotland. This is a UNESCO site that is considered on par with the Yellowstone Park and the Great Barrier Reef. This remains one of the main attractions in Northumberland.
b) The Holy Isle of Lindisfarne is another famous historic site that continues to pull in crowds for religious as well as recreational reasons due to the many pubs that have come up.
c) The sheer natural beauty around Berwick and the vast expanse of the Kielder Water Lake where you can even sail at leisure are attractions that cannot be satisfied in just one visit. You may have to make several visits for this and having a caravan home nearby is just the right way to go about it. The Forest, which is arguably the most expansive in the UK is another great place that you can visit on the way back from Kielder. You can bike or even go trekking as you explore the wonderful trails.
d) A trip down medieval Northumberland becomes a reality when you visit the Hexham Old Goal. This was the prison that was built more than 500 years back and there are enough displays of art and interactive learning opportunities within the prison that will keep you engaged for a long time.

Top 5 Attractions in Northumberland

Owning holiday homes in Northumberland gives you access to an excellent range of things to see and do. Here's our own holiday shortlist of the top five attractions in the area.
1: Hadrian's Wall. One of the UK's most famous monuments, still winding its way across the divide between England and Scotland, Hadrian's Wall is a must see for every visitor to the area. You can still imagine the Roman soldiers patrolling the Wall at night, their torches flickering in the moonlight... Described by USA Today as "Better than Stonehenge", and one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites (putting it up there with the Great Barrier Reef and Yellowstone), Hadrian's Wall is Northumberland's premier attraction.
2: Owning holiday homes in Northumberland puts you within striking distance of a number of historic sites - including the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne. Made famous by the pilgrims who trekked to it hundreds of years ago, the Isle of Lindisfarne is seen as one of the founding locations of English Christianity. The Lindisfarne Gospels, gorgeously illustrated versions of Mark, Luke and John, were created here. These days, visitors flock to the Isle for its great pubs and freshly caught shellfish as much as the church.
3: If you own holiday homes in Northumberland you get the benefits of seeing the county at every stage of its year. Some of the environmental attractions in and around Berwick-upon-Tweed are reason enough to come back again and again - including the famous Kielder Water and Forest. Kielder Water itself is a huge manmade lake, with ample sailing: the real natural attraction here is the Forest, the largest in England. Exploring its trails on foot or by bike, outdoor loving families can spend weeks just coming back to Kielder.
4: History buffs and kids alike will love a visit to Hexham Old Gaol - the oldest purpose built prison in England. 500 years of crime and punishment have left their mark on Hexham Old Gaol, which now contains state of the art displays and interactive learning stations. Transport yourself back to the violent years of medieval Northumberland and go on your own time travelling adventure inside the thick walls of the prison.
Drop down to dungeon level in a glass lift - and experience the true terror of a Reiver raid in stunning high definition audio visual.
5: Holiday homes in Northumberland give visitors the chance to explore some of the country's finest stately homes. The pick of the bunch has to be the incredible Seaton Delavel, whose monumental facade spreads a gorgeous yellow stone face to meet visitors as they walk up the sweeping drive. One of the greatest examples of 18th century British architecture, Seaton Delavel offers parking facilities, and has both a tea room and a designated picnic area. Seaton Delavel accepts groups though booking in advance, with definite numbers, is essential. Families don't need to book.
