Northumberland

Castles, empty beaches and the darkest skies in England. Miles of sand where a dog can run all year, and a national park with more sheep than people.

Where it all is

Every dot is a real place at its real coordinates, and each area is drawn around the places actually in it — so the map grows as the checking does. Rosehip dots are beaches, the only places where the calendar decides.
