Northumberland

The most northern county within England is Northumberland, which lies in the east of the country and borders the North Sea. Known for its exceptional beaches, Northumberland also has the most castles in all of England, mostly scattered along the coastline. One of them can be found across the causeway on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
