Northumberland is one of the most outstanding dog walking counties in Britain, and one of the least crowded. The Northumberland National Park, the Cheviot Hills, Hadrian’s Wall, and the largely unspoilt Northumberland coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with some of the emptiest beaches in England, offer wonderful walking opportunities that a dog can do off lead far more easily than in the busier national parks further south. Farm stays in Northumberland place you right in the middle of this landscape, often within walking distance of open moorland or coastal paths that run for miles without meeting another person. The county’s low visitor numbers outside of summer mean dog-friendly walking is available all year round, and the farms themselves will have the space to give dogs real outdoor freedom with plenty of new things to sniff.
