We have stopped at Ord House at Berwick, and the CC site at River Breamish. Both nice sites.

Lots to do (assuming you dont want amusements etc).
Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle (Harry Potter), Kielder Water, Lindisfarne, Trip to the Farne Islands, the brilliant Cragside House NT property, and miles of fabulous beaches.

And the beer is acceptable too.

Beer acceptable!!    More than acceptable - perfect.  Forget the lager stuff, drink the real stuff.  You are in the home of Newcastle Brown after all - and then we have Newccastle Amber, Double Maxim / Maximus etc etc.

And then you have the countryside as mentioned above.  The south end of the area is dominated by Hadrians Wall of course.  Beaches north of Newbiggin are wonderful providing the weather is not being dominated by a high sitting just off the coast - when you will 'benefit' from the sea frets (fog)   Berwick is worth a visit - history between Scotland and England (it is currently English) and a Lowry painting town.
Wark, Amble, Rothbury, Otterburn are all worth a visit.  Newcastle is an easy hop if you want the big city

Enjoy it - but don't tell anyone else you did.  We don't want everyone coming - they will only spoil it.

My humble apologies JuanHuNose    The word just slipped out      Micro is THE word   Amazing how it has come back into fashion   As a Biology student many pints ago my dissertaion was related to the commercial uses of yeast (indeed only one use)  and to add to my delight the external examiner was a brewer like myself   We spent twenty minutes sampling my wares   Guess what?  I passed.   Sadly my days of brewing ended a few years ago. 

Breweries can be found  in Wylam  Hexham   Alnwick  Bedlington  to name but a few
