Last week, we sent out our June edition of The Curlew, Northumberland National Park's newsletter.

Our readers learned of how we welcomed Minister for Nature, Mary Creagh, to the National Park, nearly £1million was awarded to farmers to improve land for the environment and visitors, and everyone's favourite woolly superstar, Shaun the Sheep, returned to The Sill at the weekend with new virtual trail and exhibition. We also shared fantastic hill walks with stunning views and creative events on offer.
