Northumberland, Britain's least densely populated county not only boasts its own National Park but its own flag, tartan and own dialect. It also has the largest man made forest and lake in the country.

Northumberland is well served by numerous good restaurants that remain loyal to the county's famous produce. Especially look out for oak-smoked kippers, wild salmon, organic lamb from the heather clad hills, North Sea shellfish, local cheeses, grouse from the moors and Lindisfarne oysters.
