If an active holiday is what you want, there is no better place than Hadrian's Wall Country. The area's beautiful surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for whatever it is you wish to do.

The area is rightly renowned for its fishing, with a huge choice of beautiful venues for the keen angler. The River Tyne is acknowledged as England's best salmon river, and the Northumberland landscape hides a variety of lakes of all sizes for the trout fisherman.

Some ten golf courses offer a challenge to players of all abilities, from the champions of the European Tour to the casual player who likes a quiet round in the most beautiful countryside.

If the great outdoors are not to your liking, a wealth of indoor facilities are guaranteed to leave you fit, healthy and relaxed. Just click on the side menu to your right to find out more about your chosen activity.
