Britain’s "most tranquil" national park situated right here in the North East has been named one of the most Instagrammable – ready for a photoshoot?

Northumberland National Park described as “the most remote and least populated” of all England’s national parks is now the place to be in the region when it comes to capturing some of the most impressive landscape views.

It comes as travel deal experts at Tripplo looked at all 15 recognised UK national parks (from the National Parks UK website), to find the number of times each location has been tagged on Instagram in public posts.

The total number of hashtagged posts was calculated by combining the commonly used name and the full name of each national park.

“Located in the North East of England and bordering Scotland, Northumberland features the highest number of castles in England.

“The county is also home to Northumberland National Park, England's most remote and least populated National Park.”

On the National Parks UK website, it adds: " Northumberland National Park is the northernmost national park in England.

"It covers an area of more than 1,050 square kilometres (410 sq mi) between the Scottish border in the north to just south of Hadrian’s Wall, and it is one of the least populated and least visited of the National Parks."

Out of 3,171 Google reviews, Northumberland National Park has an impressive 4.8/5 rating.

A recent visitor posted: “An outstanding natural landscape steeped in history in which one feels a deep spiritual connection to the earth.  A truly humbling experience only a short ride from Hexham.

"Tread softly and take only photographs, this wonder of nature needs all of our support to sustain it's awe inspiring beauty for future generations to behold & adore.”

Another added: "Unbelievably stunning scenery, forests, waters and moors. Undulating hills and Neolithic marked rocks can be discovered via the miles of footpaths and tracks."

Axel Hernborg founder of Tripplo commented on these findings, saying:  "As the temperatures rise and the days lengthen, many of us are keen to explore the UK countryside, especially since all the country's national parks are free to enter. 

"With the Lake District attracting more than 18 million visitors each year, it is no wonder it has also been found to be the most Instagrammable.

“With its picturesque villages, such as Grasmere and Keswick, plus the natural features, including Lake Windermere and Aira Force Waterfall, the Lake District is undeniably one of most scenic getaways in the UK.”
