Morpeth attractions |
|
 Morpeth is in Northumberland, a county that borders
Cumbria to the west, County Durham to the south, Tyne and Wear
to the southeast, the Scottish Borders to the north and has nearly
80 miles of North Sea coastline. It is an area of uncrowded golden
sandy beaches, stunning countryside set amongst two Areas of
Outstanding Natural Beauty and the rugged Northumberland National
Park. There are more castles in Northumberland than anywhere
else in England and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne is the birthplace
of English Christianity. |
