Morpeth, Northumberland

If you want stylish shopping and a rich history to explore, go to Morpeth, the historic county town of Northumberland.

Combine the old and the new with a walk around Morpeth's modern Wednesday market which is just a stone's throw from the 13th century Chantry that houses the town's Bagpipe Museum and Northumbrian Arts and Craft Gallery.

You can wander along woodland paths in Morpeth's colourful Carlisle Park which boasts river boating, tennis courts and bowls. The park also plays host to the wonderful Turner Garden - celebrating the life of William Turner, the father of English botany who was born and educated at Morpeth.
