Four Northumberland openings have been listed among the best things to do in the UK in 2023.
Popular travel and culture magazine Time Out unveiled its list this week which includes Northumberland's first whisky distillery, the world's largest play structure, the world's longest managed walking route, and a new hotel inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Northumberland was named one of the world's best destinations to visit in 2022 by the New York Times and this new list for 2023 will have tourism businesses in the county hoping for another busy year - especially as the cost of living crisis continues.
First on the list is Ad Gefrin, Northumberland's first whisky distillery. Initially listed as one of 2022's most exciting openings in the entire world by the Smithsonian Magazine for 2022, the £10.4 million combined distillery and museum on the Anglo-Saxon Golden Age's opening was pushed back until next spring.
