There’s something very special about Lindisfarne - and this guide (pictured framed) captures that beautifully.

With an aerial view of the island, footpaths, cycleways, historic sites and a short history, it’s a lovely way to explore Holy Island before, during or after a visit.

A sunny Bank Holiday weekend feels like the perfect time to celebrate the books, routes, writers and shops that help people explore Northumberland.

Our walking and cycling guides are created by people who know and love these landscapes - from coast paths and quiet lanes to gravel routes and long-distance trails.

They’re also stocked by brilliant local shops, visitor centres and independent businesses across the region. Every copy bought locally helps support those stockists, the authors behind the books, and the small publishing work that keeps Northumberland’s stories and routes in print.

Call into a local shop this Bank Holiday weekend and find your next route! 🥾🚴☀️
