Where to go with your dog

When holidaying with your dog in Northumberland please remember to observe the County Code and keep dogs on leads when near livestock. This is particularly important during the lambing season.

Care should be taken near estuaries as there are strong currents and some rivers have hidden, steeply shelving banks at this point in their course. Dogs are allowed on all of Northumberland's beaches throughout the year. However, there are some restrictions at Low Newton-by-the-Sea as Little Terns nest at one of the bays along the coast (to the north of the main beach) from May to August. Please keep your dogs away from this part of the beach during the summer months. Dogs must be kept on leads at Newton Pool Nature Reserve, which is behind the beach, and are allowed on the boundary path and in the hide only.
