    EV Road Trip: The Northumberland Coast

    Drive the Northumberland coast in your EV — castles, beaches, charging stops, and hotels on Sento.

    The Northumberland coast is England's most undiscovered gem — miles of empty beaches, medieval castles, and the Farne Islands. It's also a great EV destination.

    Charging on the Northumberland Coast

    Charging is less dense than further south, but key towns have provision:

    • Alnwick — the main Northumberland market town, good public charging
    • Berwick-upon-Tweed — northernmost English town, some public chargers
    • Amble and Warkworth — limited but growing
    • Bamburgh — some public charging near the castle

    The A1 northbound through Northumberland has services at Morpeth and Alnwick areas with charging.

    Classic Route

    Newcastle → Alnwick → Bamburgh → Holy Island (causeway check times!) → Berwick → back via A697. Around 150 miles total.
