Thankfully, Northumberland is blessed with plenty of activities which don’t break the bank.
So, if you’re stuck for ideas about what to do with the family over Easter, or are just looking for inspiration for a day out, here’s 16 things you can do for less than a fiver per person:
5. Relax at Barter Books
Barter Books in Alnwick is one of the biggest second-hand bookshops in the UK. Visiting is free, but a whole day can be spent in front of the fire getting stuck into a novel. There is also a kids' area to keep youngsters entertained. Photo: Charlie Watson

Alnwick Garden is one of Northumberland's most popular tourist attractions, and for £17.60 one adult and four kids can spend the day there. Who knew you could enjoy stunning views, an array of fountains and the poison gardens on a budget? Photo: supplied
