Northumberland
What did I like about Northumberland? Well, the beaches are stunning, quiet and clean. The villages are postcard pretty. Everything is quite close to one another and it doesn't take long to get anywhere. Vegetarians and vegans are not very well catered for though, it did seem like there were a lot of places that had the token vegetable lasagne as an option. But I have heard really good things about the Running Fox at Felton and Pulp Fiction Future Food at Whitely Bay so we'll try them next time we are visiting. And we definitely will be heading back to Northumberland soon. It's a special place indeed.
