Northumberland
Northumberland is England's northernmost county. Northumberland has a long history of industrial workings and agricultural life. The town of Berwick upon Tweed is (according to Pevsner) "... one of the most exciting towns in the country, with scarcely an irritating building anywhere, and the most intricate changes of level".
Hadrian's Wall is a must see, a massive fortification which deliniated the northern edge of the Roman world. Much of the wall still stands to this day as testament to its builders.
The walking opportunities in and around Northumberland National Park are excellent.
