North East tourism organisations become first in England to be recognised with new national status  

 NewcastleGateshead Initiative (NGI), Visit County Durham, part of Durham County Council, and Visit Northumberland are the first organisations to be recognised by VisitEngland in a new national portfolio of strategic tourism bodies which are to be called Local Visitor Economy Partnerships (LVEPs). The LVEPs will work in collaboration with local, regional and national stakeholders on shared priorities to support and grow the visitor economy.

This new programme gives the three Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) nationally recognised official status with a stronger strategic relationship with VisitEngland. They will be critical partners in place-shaping, providing effective leadership and management of the destination and ensuring it is inclusive, accessible and sustainable for visitors nationally and internationally.

The LVEP programme embeds robust destination management planning principles, best practice sharing and a commitment to ensure industry engagement in the development of the visitor economy. Organisations will be reviewed on an annual basis to evidence their impact and the quality of their operations.

VisitEngland Director, Andrew Stokes, said:”LVEPs are at the heart of transforming the visitor economy landscape in England and we are delighted to welcome NGI, Visit County Durham and Visit Northumberland into the scheme, the first to gain the nationally recognised official LVEP status. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration as the LVEPs are established, providing ongoing support including a dedicated VisitEngland regional development lead.

“Great destinations are great places to live, work and to visit. Having the right national and local infrastructure in place to grow our visitor economy, in an inclusive, accessible and sustainable way, will ensure England continues to be a compelling destination for both domestic and international visitors.”

John Marshall, Chair of NGI, said:”It is fantastic that the North East is a trailblazer and is home to the first tourism organisations to be officially recognised by VisitEngland. This nationally recognised status acknowledges that NGI is operating at the highest level and will allow us to further support and boost the tourism sector.

With one in four jobs in our city being in tourism and hospitality, it is critical that we work collaboratively to develop our offer and secure further investment. We look forward to working with the tourism industry to continue to grow our visitor economy, attracting more visitors to our fantastic city and creating more jobs for residents.”

Andrew Fox, Chair of Visit Northumberland, said: “We are very proud to be at the forefront of delivering the ambitions of the De Bois Review of domestic tourism and welcome the role that we have to play in driving forward change with our partners in the North East of England. Visit Northumberland remains wholeheartedly committed to delivering the priorities of the Northumberland Destination Management Plan and working closely with our partners and local stakeholders in doing so.

“We are grateful for VisitEngland’s confidence in awarding us accredited LVEP status, and their acknowledgment of the progress we have made in galvanising the Northumberland visitor economy. We welcome the accreditation, we support the national coordination of the tourism industry and we look forward to sharing our learnings as other destinations embark on their journey.”

Ivor Stolliday, Chair of Visit County Durham, said: “Receiving Local Visitor Economy Partnership accreditation is fantastic news for Durham. Not only does it reflect the effectiveness of our strategic approach to growing the county’s visitor economy, but the wide-ranging support we offer to tourism businesses.

“As a Local Visitor Economy Partnership, we will be in the best position to further expand on these activities, while continuing to work closely with neighbouring LVEPs and tourism bodies for the benefit of the entire region. What’s more, it will strengthen our relationships with VisitEngland and VisitBritain, ensuring the North East has a strong national voice.”

This is the next step in implementing the government’s response to the De Bois Review of DMOs. In December, the North East was announced as the pilot area for a new regional tourism framework called a Destination Development Partnership (DDP).

The DDP pilot is a collaboration led by NGI working with Visit County Durham, Visit Northumberland and the seven North East local authorities in the North of Tyne Combined Authority and North East Combined Authority areas. The DDP aims to unlock growth and the untapped potential in the North East’s visitor economy.

VisitEngland has now opened applications to its LVEP programme and is calling for eligible DMOs from across England to apply.

FAQs – Planning your visit to Northumberland

The weather in Northumberland can be unpredictable in every season. It can be cold and windy all year around so it is essential to pack accordingly.

Whilst the summer months can be hot there is always the possibility of a sea fret (a cool mist that covers the coast) and temperatures will drop considerably.

• Carry change for car parking! Prepare to arrive early in the day to secure parking at popular spots (or you may find you have to park some distance away)
• Check for low tide if you are planning to visit Holy Island.
• If you are visiting in summer prepare to enjoy the longer daylight hours (sunset can be as late as 9:50 in the evening!) Longer days means you can fit more into your itinerary!
• Enjoy some traditional food and drink including Craster kippers, Earl Grey tea, Newcastle Brown Ale, ham and pease pudding stotties and pan haggerty.
• Locals are called Geordie and have a very distinct accent.

Option 1 – By car/train/coach from London

Northumberland is England’s northernmost county. It is approximately 470 kms from London and takes around 5 hours by car (I would recommend stops in a number of other destinations on the way though!)

Tip – If you are planning a road trip around the UK the Northumberland Coastal Route is a beautiful drive and very popular especially during the summer months.

The train journey from London ( King’s Cross ) to Newcastle takes around 3 hours and is a lovely trip (stop off in York on the way)

Click here for timetables and prices of train tickets from London to Newcastle .

National Express Coaches travel regularly every day from Victoria Coach Station to Newcastle. This will be the cheapest but also the slowest option.

Option 2 – By car/train/coach from Edinburgh

Driving from Edinburgh to the Northumberland coast only takes around 2 hours. Alternatively, take the train from Edinburgh to Newcastle (around 2 hours) and pick up a hire car to explore Northumberland.

There are also day tours available from Edinburgh (see below for recommendations) which visit a number of top sights and attractions in Northumberland.

Click here for timetables and prices of train tickets from Edinburgh to Newcastle.

Option 3 – Fly into Newcastle Airport

Newcastle Airport is the nearest international airport for visitors to Northumberland. Pick up a hire car at the airport if you plan to explore Northumberland as it is the best way to get around the county.

North East tourism organisations become first in England to be recognised with new national status

Regional bodies leading on the promotion, marketing and development of the North East’s visitor economy are the first to be recognised by VisitEngland in a government programme to establish a new structure for the tourism industry.

Long-term National Park plan launches

Posted on 28th February 2023 in Latest News by Ed Hudspeth

Long-term plan launches to protect and enhance the future of Northumberland National Park

Northumberland National Park Authority alongside its partners has publicly launched a new Management Plan for the National Park, with nature, climate, people and communities at its heart.

The Management Plan, which outlines a bold and ambitious long-term vision for Northumberland National Park, will help to secure the future of the National Park as a key asset to deliver on some of the biggest challenges that face society. These challenges include biodiversity loss, climate change and our health and wellbeing. The Management Plan will ensure all sections of society benefit from one of England’s finest landscapes.

Tony Gates, Chief Executive Officer at Northumberland National Park Authority, said: “This Management Plan has been shaped by extensive partner and community consultation, engaging more people in the process than we ever have before. Whilst the plan aims to address key national and international challenges, it has at its heart the safeguarding of what is special about the National Park and the sustainability of our local communities.

“Our vision is for Northumberland National Park to be a place where people and nature can thrive, and as a living working landscape, the National Park will lead the way on climate action, with resilient communities, enabling an accessible and welcoming park for all.”

Key actions

The Management Plan sets out how all partners, including the National Park Authority, organisations, businesses and communities that have a shared interest in the National Park, can work together to tackle issues related to its people, nature, climate, place and heritage. Some key actions within the Management Plan are:

• Restoring key habitats including peatlands, rivers and loughs:

Working with partners, including the Great North Bog and Northumberland Peat Partnership, Northumberland National Park will identify priority areas for restoration of peat and establish a pipeline of investment for peatland recovery projects, with the aim of restoring 5,000 hectares of peatland habitat by 2030. Enhancing the ecological and hydrological connectivity of existing peatlands will also be a key action.

• Increasing broadleaf woodland:

Plans include an aim to increase broadleaf woodland by 6,000 hectares by 2060. Over the duration of this Management Plan, the National Park will work with partners to remove or restructure 2,000 hectares of commercial coniferous forest by 2030 to achieve nature, climate and landscape enhancements.

There is also a long-term aims to restructure all forestry in Northumberland National Park to enhance landscape and biodiversity,  its resilience to climate change, disease and other threats.

• Improving Net Zero Infrastructure throughout the National Park:

Within the first three years, partners will identify and begin projects and initiatives that will deliver a programme of carbon reduction, including a Zero Emission Vehicle charging network and the development and promotion of active-travel.

• The rich historic environment of the National Park will be understood, valued and cared for.

The National Park will work with partners to conserve and enhance nationally important heritage ensuring that less than 5% are considered at risk by the end of the Management Plan period.

• Supporting rural business and training opportunities:

The National Park will work with partners to create opportunities to attract, upskill, and retain a local workforce with a particular focus on the visitor, landscape, heritage, agricultural and land management economies.

• Welcoming more and different visitors to benefit from and learn from National Park experiences:

Northumberland National Park aims to be a welcoming National Park for a diverse range of visitors and will facilitate improvements to a network of visitor hubs across the National Park with fully accessible walking routes  and other accessible visitor facilities.

"A unique opportunity"

Jean Davidson, Chair of Northumberland National Park Authority, said: “With society ever-changing, Northumberland National Park provides a unique opportunity to help shape the future, and support nature, people, climate and place within the National Park and its gateway communities.

“Through the extensive work with our partners, the successful implementation of this Management Plan will deliver more for nature, take meaningful climate action, and support the wellbeing of people who live, work, and visit Northumberland National Park.”

Mike Collins, Historic England, said: “It’s brilliant to see the Plan puts people at the heart of its aspirations. The landscape of the Northumberland National Park was created by humans over thousands of years and this rich heritage has the potential to provide cultural, economic and educational benefits for both local people and wider society.  We now look forward to partners working together with communities to deliver these benefits from the historic environment.”

Dr Sheree Mack, Identity on Tyne, said: “As a project coordinator for Global Majority groups getting out within nature, I welcome the Park’s Management Plan for the next 5 years. Even when being a partner within the steering and designing of the plan, I see this launch as just the beginning of the process for becoming not just a welcoming park for all, but also being willing to listen to diverse groups and individuals and then subsequently led by such groups to instigate change towards more equity and inclusion around access to this living working landscape we all call home.”

Further details

This plan has been developed over a period of two years of discussions, consultations, and collaborations, including a six-week consultation process. In total, over 6,000 contacts who live, work and visit the National Park were given the opportunity to contribute their views. 63 partners, public bodies and communities will work together to help deliver activity over the next five years.
