Return to English courses in Northumbria & Cumbria

Unspoilt and wild, this beautiful region delights visitors with its views of magnificent countryside and coastline. The Lake District in Cumbria is a heaven for walkers, and has inspired many writers, particularly the poet William Wordsworth and Beatrice Potter. The Northumberland National Park, one of the last extents of wilderness left in England, is another popular destination for nature lovers. Visitors can relax and enjoy a drink at one of the many 'old-world inns', or explore some of the picturesque villages that lie nestled in the hills. Alternatively, you could visit Hadrian's Wall which runs across northern England. Constructed by the Romans, it was designed to prevent an invasion from Scotland, but now provides an interesting back drop to the beautiful scenery. For city life, head to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a bustling city and the region's capital, or Durham, a university town, with its magnificent 12th century Cathedral.
