The 7th edition of this attractively illustrated guide to Northumberland & Durham is packed with information on the more secluded and less well-known visitor attractions and includes places to eat, drink and stay as well as covering the more established places of interest.

Northumberland has much to offer the visitor with the Cheviot
Hills, the Kielder Forest Park, Hadrian's Wall and the North Northumberland
Heritage Coast which, of course includes Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and
the Farne Islands. County Durham has a rich industrial heritage
particularly in mining, steel and shipbuilding some of which is now in the
relatively new county of Tyne & Wear, but it also possesses the historical
city of Durham with its magnificent cathedral and castle, and to the north
the beautiful scenery of Weardale, Teesdale and the Northern Pennines. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
