Vehicle Transport in Northumberland
Northumberland is as far as you can go in England without crossing into Scotland — and at 330 miles from Devon, it's our longest regular English run. But we do it, and we do it well. The A1(M)/A1 takes us all the way — from the M1 through Yorkshire, past Durham and Newcastle, into Northumberland's wide-open landscapes. Two-day minimum, sometimes three for the far north. Our two-person team makes this viable — without the support car, the economics of a Northumberland round trip simply wouldn't work for a single driver.
England's Far North
Berwick-upon-Tweed is 360 miles from Devon — the furthest you can go in England. We plan Northumberland runs carefully: travel day one, collect day two, return day two or three.
Newcastle & Tyneside
Newcastle, Gateshead, and the Tyneside conurbation sit just south of Northumberland proper. We use Newcastle as our staging point for Northumberland collections — overnight there, then into the county fresh.
A1 Corridor to the North
The A1 from the M1 all the way to Berwick is one of Britain's great roads. We know every section — the dual carriageway stretches, the single-carriageway gaps, and where to stop.
Hadrian's Wall Country
Hexham, Haltwhistle, the Military Road (B6318) along the Wall — stunning scenery and surprisingly good roads for an area that feels remote.
Northumberland Coast
Alnwick, Amble, Seahouses, Bamburgh, Holy Island — the Northumberland coast is one of Britain's most beautiful. Collections here are memorable for the right reasons.
Scottish Border Runs
Collecting near the border? We can continue into the Scottish Borders if needed — Berwick to Edinburgh is only an hour further. Ask about combined England-Scotland runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Northumberland from Devon?
About 300 miles to Newcastle, 330 miles to Alnwick, and 360 miles to Berwick-upon-Tweed. It's our longest regular English run — 5.5-6.5 hours driving.
How many days for a Northumberland collection?
Minimum two days — travel up day one, collect/deliver day two, return day two (or three if it's Berwick). Three days for the far north. All planning is included in your fixed price.
Why is your two-person team important for Northumberland?
A single driver making a 700-mile round trip would need at least two overnight stops, train tickets, and meals — costs that get passed to you. Our support car means the return journey is immediate and all costs are transparent in one fixed price.
Do you cover the Holy Island of Lindisfarne?
Yes — but with careful planning. Lindisfarne is a tidal island, only accessible at low tide via the causeway. We must time the collection around the tide times. We'll check the tide tables before confirming your date.
What Northumberland locations do you cover?
All of them — from Newcastle/Gateshead (Tyneside) through Morpeth, Hexham, Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Ashington, Blyth, Cramlington, and every town and village. The Tyne Valley, the Coquet Valley, the coast, and the border country.
How much from Newcastle to Exeter?
Typically £500-£700 depending on the exact distance and whether an overnight is needed (it nearly always is). Use the quote form for an exact price.
