A bustling town in Northumberland offers tourists the opportunity to explore the beautiful beaches and famous mountains all in the same day thanks to its convenient location.<\/p>\n

Morpeth, the main town in Northumberland, is famous for its market town charm featuring cobbled streets, a stylish highstreet and numerous options for eating out.<\/p>\n

But one of its biggest selling points is the nearby beaches and mountains, with Cresswell Beach taking less than 20 minutes to reach by car.<\/p>\n

For those looking to hike up the famous mountains, there are six nearby that offer different levels from beginners to those who are more experienced.<\/p>\n

There is also plenty to do in Morpeth itself, with Sanderson Arcade offering a luxurious high street experience combined with live music and monthly events.<\/p>\n

For those who love shopping, there are dozens of independent stores lining the streets, with some of the best places to visit being Bridge Street and Newgate Street.<\/p>\n

If you time your visit with the first Saturday of the month, you will be able to take a traditional shopping trip through Morpeth’s Farmers’ Market.<\/p>\n

Here you will be able to find a whole array of local produce, including fresh pies, cheese, artisan bread and fruit chutneys.<\/p>\n

There are also a number of walks you can take right from the town centre, with Carlisle Park offering woodland routes.<\/p>\n

The River Wansbeck runs through the town, making it an idyllic, peaceful spot to sit down and take in the scenery.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for somewhere to stay, Eshott Hall is a Georgian country house that sits on a luxurious lawn. For something a bit more budget friendly, the Wyldecrest Holiday Park offers a range of self-catering accommodation.<\/p>\n

And if you fancy leaving the car at home, there are direct trains from London that will get you there in as little as three hours.<\/p>\n
