Northumberland is blessed with lots of beautiful stretches of coast, as well as beautiful towns and countryside locations, as we have been highlighting since the start of the year.
The following is a round-up combining the different sections, starting at Rothbury and going to the far north of the county then heading along the coast to Seaton Sluice before moving north west to Morpeth and south west to the final two locations.

7. Bamburgh
Get your coat on and visit Bamburgh beach for a winter walk. There's also cracking pubs in the village to grab a spot of lunch or a pint. Photo: Jane Coltman

The curving beach and open-ended grass square surrounded by white-painted fishermen’s cottages is so picturesque. Photo: Jane Coltman
