Welcome to Northumberland — England’s northernmost county, where castles meet coastlines and the A1 keeps Alnwick and Newcastle firmly connected. With around 320,000 residents who know the shortcut past Bamburgh better than any sat‑nav, Northumberland blends rugged landscapes with historic charm.

Schools That Actually Impress

Dame Allan’s in Newcastle, The King Edward VI School in Morpeth, and Mowden Hall (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Northumberland’s economy mixes tourism, agriculture, and energy with growing service and creative hubs around Morpeth and Alnwick. Add in commuters heading to Newcastle and Edinburgh, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the A1 Traffic)

• Hadrian’s Wall – Roman frontier stretching across the county.

• Bamburgh Castle – iconic fortress overlooking the North Sea.

• Local favourites – Alnwick Garden for family days, Northumberland National Park for fresh air, and coastal walks for postcard views.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t fix the A1 bottleneck, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Morpeth)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Northumberland is just a stepping stone to New York)
