Days out nearby

• The Alnwick Garden ↗

  ~8 miles · ~15 mins

  Nature / outdoors · nearby attraction

  A spectacular cascading water garden children can splash beside, a deliciously creepy Poison Garden tour for older kids and one of the world's largest treehouses for lunch among the branches.

• Alnwick Castle ↗

  ~9 miles · ~15 mins

  Castle / historic · nearby attraction

  A lived-in castle children may recognise from the films, where they can take broomstick training on the lawn, dress up and try medieval crafts in Knights' Quest. Pairs perfectly with the gardens next door.

• Bamburgh Castle ↗

  ~9 miles · ~15 mins

  Castle / historic · nearby attraction

  A dramatic clifftop castle above one of England's finest beaches, with grand state rooms, an archaeology display and a Viking-themed play area. Combine with a sandcastle afternoon on the beach below.

• Kielder Castle & Kielder Forest ↗

  ~48 miles · ~1 hr

  Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip

  England's biggest forest and lake, with adventure play, family bike trails, red squirrels and some of the darkest skies in the country. Kielder Castle is a handy base with a café and visitor centre.

• Beamish, The Living Museum of the North ↗

  ~53 miles · ~1 hr

  Castle / historic · ideal day trip

  An open-air museum where trams and buses carry families between a 1900s town, a pit village, a farm and 1950s streets. Children can visit an old schoolroom, buy sweets the old way and see steam engines working.
