The Alnwick Garden & Castle, Bamburgh & Lindisfarne are just some of the many attractions that are easily accessible by car. The relatively new addition of Northumberlandia, a landscaped sculpture (the naked lady) is also worth the short drive on a clear day to experience the amazing views of Northumberland & Tyneside.
