We chose that area (Northumberland and NE UK) specifically for the vast number of very cool sites. We have a book on Brit castles and the map of that area consists of many overlapping location pins. At one point we could see 3 castles or castle ruins from one spot. It's truly an amazing area to visit. We're planning on a return trip next year to spend more time in fewer areas. For instance, maybe 3 days on Holy Island just to soak in as much of the experience as possible. This trip we were limited to 3 hours on the island because of the tides that wash over the causeway.
