Northumberland is a county rich in the most amazing produce. It is in part due to the location of Northumberland as the most Northerly county in England, and a Border region with Scotland that gives it such a wonderful cornucopia of superb, natural - and wild - fresh produce.

Travel to this great county on a Northumberland holiday, and you will be struck by the beauty of the wild heather covered hills, the long golden sandy unspoilt beaches, and the stunning lush countryside. Not to mention all the historic castles, majestic stately homes, and areas of outstanding beauty, and the World Heritage site.
Northumberland is well know for its world famous Tweed trout, and wild salmon, as well as its Craster Kippers. There is a fantastic wealth of seafood in Northumberland including lobsters, shrimps, prawns, cockles, whelks, oysters, and mussels. The crystal clear waters around the Northumberland coast have a great bounty of fresh local Northumberland produce.
The lovely lush green Northumberland grassland is fabulous grazing for the well-fed livestock, so you will find plenty of good local beef, lamb and pork, and a fantastic selection of organic products including bacon, eggs, and sausages. You can also purchase pork from the same farm that supplies Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck restaurant. There are a fine selection of rare and unusual breeds established and farmed in Northumberland.
Local wild deer, raised and grazed on the heather covered Cheviot Hills, are a fantastic source of organic venison, from which you can buy fabulous cuts, or lovely sausages.
Try fine local cheeses, breads, and traditionally brewed organic real ales, made in microbreweries, and with a lot of regional taste like the seaweed ales. The holy island of Lindisfarne is famous for being the birth place of Christianity in England, and is well known for its Mead, made from honey, traditionally confectioned by the monks of the abbey, and still available on the island today.
From the green and pleasant land of Northumberland you can enjoy a veritable feast of fine produce and organic food.
