Local Area

Northumberland is a place of unspoilt beauty, with beaches, wildlife, nature and thousands of years of history.  There is so much to see and do in North Northumberland alone you will need months, even years, to see it all, but hopefully you will love the region as much as we do, and return again.

Below is a list of website links to local attractions and activities, summarised by towns and villages with distance from Brada View in brackets. There’s so much we could include but this is a good starting place!

Feel free to ask us any questions or advice and we will endeavour to answer or to point you in the right direction.
