Northumberland, often called “castle country,” boasts more castles than any other county in England. With over 70 castle sites—many still standing proudly, others now hauntingly beautiful ruins—this northern land is steeped in stone, legend, and legacy. But why does this peaceful corner of the country have such a turbulent and fortified past?

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a peaceful sanctuary to truly switch off and unwind has never been more important. That’s why more people are choosing to invest in pre-owned luxury caravans and lodges set within serene, clubhouse-free holiday parks—designed entirely around peace, privacy, and nature.
