Celebrating 70 years of @NlandNP with the 70th Anniversary Walking Festival!
From gentle strolls to challenging hikes, there’s something for everyone.
We’ll be sharing walks from the programme each month to inspire your next adventure.
Two of our beaches are officially amongst the best in Britain (although we think they all are!)

New partner, Funding Circle, is supporting large-scale peatland restoration across our National Parks, starting here in Northumberland National Park.
Peatlands may look wild and rugged, but they play a vital role in tackling climate change.
Enjoying the sun by the water? Stay safe with tips from @NlandFRS Service:
🌊 Strong currents can lurk beneath calm surfaces
⚠️ Watch out for hidden hazards like rocks and debris
🥶 Cold water shock is a real risk
Opt for supervised swimming or paddling pools for fun! 💦

Due to improvement works at Alwinton car park, half of the car park will be closed to visitors on Friday 24 April.
The remaining spaces will remain open, and the toilets will be available as usual.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
