Northumberland By Heart eBook

Northumberland By Heart
A real guide for people who want to actually get it

I didn’t write this because I fancied making a “top 10 things to do” list

I wrote it because I got it wrong at the start

I did the same as everyone else… turned up to the obvious places at the wrong times, followed what Google said, left thinking “is that it?”

and I nearly missed what makes this place what it is

this book is everything I wish someone had handed me when I first moved up here

not the tourist version
the real version

the one you only figure out after a couple of years of living here, speaking to locals, going back to the same places at different times, getting it wrong, then finally getting it right

inside you’ll find things like

• the exact times certain beaches go from busy to completely empty

• where to park without it turning into a 40 minute headache

• the quieter coastal spots that don’t show up online

• the walks that actually make you stop and take it in, not just tick a box

• places that feel completely different depending on when you go

• and a few that… honestly… I nearly kept to myself

because that’s the thing with Northumberland

it’s not obvious

and that’s why so many people leave feeling underwhelmed… or never come at all

this fixes that

this is for you if you’ve ever thought
“there must be more to it than this”

or

“why does everyone who lives there go on about it like it’s something special?”

because it is… you just haven’t seen the right parts yet

and once you do, it clicks

properly clicks

this isn’t a book you read once and forget about either

it’s the one you keep on your phone and go back to when you’re planning a day out, a weekend, or even thinking about moving up here

and speaking of that…

it’s an ebook

so as soon as you get it, it’s yours instantly

no waiting, no faff

you can read it straight away on your phone, ipad, kindle, laptop… whatever you’ve got

open it up in the car, on the train, sat on the beach, wherever

dead easy

I spent over a year putting this together properly

not rushed, not guessed, not copied from anywhere else

just real places, real timings, real experience

and one spot in there…

you’ll know it when you get to it

everyone says the same thing when they do

if you’ve ever felt like you’re missing something with Northumberland

you probably are

this is where you find it
