This beautiful English County, on the border with Scotland to the North, Cumbria to the West and Durham to the South has a fascinating past. Once the most powerful and influential county in England outside of London, it was entrusted with the protection of England against the Scottish Hoard. The Duke of Northumberland and his fellow nobles were referred to as the Lords of the Marches and entrusted to the protection of England.
The county has more Castles and Ancient Monuments than any other county in England or Scotland, most of which have been involved in significant battles.
