Fun with two wheels

Northumberland is fast becoming a popular cycling destination due to low pollution and well sign-posted, safe bike routes, for beginners right through to those seeking a challenge. Popular routes can be found at www.visitnorthumberland.com or at the tourist information centre in Alnwick. You can also hire bikes from Pedal Power in Amble.

Walk this way

Labelled the best place for walking in the country by Country Walking Magazine, Northumberland offers a range of footpaths, bridleways and rugged coastline to explore. There is a range of walks at www.visitnorthumberland.com or at the tourist information centre in Alnwick.

The green, green grass of home

There are many golf courses in the area that offer access for holidaymakers, however, you will need to arrange play in advance. You'll find a full list of courses and contact numbers in your welcome pack.

A moment in time

We've got together with Alison Groves Photography to offer you a complimentary lifestyle portrait shoot during your stay. You can choose to have portraits taken in the location of your choice - it could be at your Botanical Cottage or your favourite place in Northumberland. For example, Alison recently photographed a family in the garden with their kids and a couple running through the sea at Bamburgh beach with their two sons and their two dogs.

Alison is renowned for getting to know people and making everyone feel at ease. So if you want memories that will last forever, visit www.alisongroves.com to find out more.
