You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Cragside House and Gardens and National Wallace Monument. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Edinburgh: The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (in Seahouses), Rosslyn Chapel (in Roslin) and Bamburgh (Bamburgh Castle & Grace Darling Museum). And it doesn't end there: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, stroll around Holyrood Park, steep yourself in history at Dean Village, and stroll the grounds of The Necropolis.
