N'land National Park

Northumberland National Park is a protected landscape in northern England, managed by the Northumberland National Park Authority. Covering more than 400 square miles, it offers wide-ranging scenery, rich wildlife and habitats, historic sites, and opportunities to explore the area’s culture and heritage. The park is known for its clean rivers, clear air and dark skies, and provides information to help visitors enjoy these natural assets responsibly.

Visitors can discover walking routes, join guided walks and walking festivals, cycle through the landscape, explore historic places including Hadrian’s Wall, and learn about local nature, farming and climate change. The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre, near Bardon Mill, features exhibitions, a café, a shop and a rooftop walk with views of Hadrian’s Wall. The authority also supports conservation, community wellbeing and sustainable rural development through initiatives such as Green Pathways, which connects young people with training and careers in land management and conservation. Its website provides visitor guidance, planning information, learning resources, volunteering opportunities and updates on events and vacancies.
