Route 1: The Northumberland Coast (3 days, ~100 miles)

Start in Alnmouth and head north on the B1339, hugging the coast through Craster (famous for kippers and the walk to Dunstanburgh Castle) to Seahouses, the departure point for Farne Islands boat trips. Continue north to Bamburgh, dominated by its imposing castle, then across the causeway to Holy Island (Lindisfarne) — check tide times carefully, as the road floods twice daily. The route continues via the A1 to Berwick-upon-Tweed, England's most northerly town. Roads are well-surfaced throughout and suitable for all motorhome sizes, though the Holy Island causeway can be narrow.

Route 2: Hadrian's Wall (2 days, ~70 miles)

Follow the B6318 (Military Road) from Chollerford west to Greenhead, running parallel to the best-preserved sections of Hadrian's Wall. Stop at Housesteads Roman Fort, the most complete fort along the wall, where a large car park accommodates motorhomes. Continue to Vindolanda for another excellent Roman site. The Sill National Landscape Discovery Centre near Once Brewed makes a good lunch stop with motorhome-accessible parking. The Military Road is wide and well-maintained, suitable for vehicles of all sizes.

Route 3: Kielder and the Dark Skies (2 days, ~80 miles)

From Hexham, head north on the B6320 to Bellingham, then west on the C200 to Kielder Water and Forest Park. This is England's most remote area south of the Scottish Highlands, and part of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park — bring binoculars for the stars. Kielder Observatory runs public events year-round. The roads into Kielder are single-track in places and not ideal for motorhomes over 7m, but the lakeside road has several pull-in areas and the main car parks can take larger vehicles. Return via the B6320 and the A68 through Redesdale.
