On the road again: campervanning on the Northumberland coast

A coastline full of wide-open beaches and wildlife plus a self-contained campervan to explore it in adds up to the perfect post-lockdown trip

Halfway across the sands, over a mile from dry land, I stop and look around. The vast vault of cloud above is reflected in the shallow water beneath our feet, giving the impression that the entire world has become sky, transected only by the steady line of guide poles that lead from the Northumbrian coast out towards Lindisfarne.
