Bordered by Scotland, Northumberland is England’s most northerly county, and once formed part of the kingdom of Bernicia. The sixty miles of coastline, persistently beaten by the North Sea, is surprisingly sandy, though broken by the occasional cliff line. Part of Hadrian’s Wall runs here (the other section falls into Cumbria), built by Romans to fend off the Scottish hordes, and now itself protected as a World Heritage Site. The county is one of the few in the UK to possess an account of a vampire which terrorised a neighbourhood in the county.
