14 Things Only People From Northumberland Can Be Proud Of

14. Beautiful Scenery And Beaches

With unspoiled beaches hiding along our coast line, you don't even have to leave the county to enjoy a little seaside break. And as an indication of the region's beauty, Bamburgh beach was named in the 20 best beaches in Britain by The Telegraph. Good judgement that. Along with the coastline, there is also Northumberland National Park, which covers 1030 km² including the Cheviots, and Kielder Forest. So not only is there a chance your county is prettier than anyone else's, it's also more varied.
