The park has been selected as one of five national parks across the country to trial the £2m national Historic Building Restoration Grant scheme.
The scheme aims to restore old farm buildings so that they do not fall into disuse.
Owners can apply for a grant to cover up to 80 per cent of the cost of the restorations.
Tony Gates, Northumberland National Park chief executive and policy lead for historic environment for the UK’s national parks, said: “Traditional farm buildings are an integral part of what makes Northumberland National Park the special place it is.
“They tell the story of over 200 years of farming and land management and are evidence of the living, working landscapes we cherish today. Farming practices do, however, change and evolve and, in many cases, our traditional farm buildings may have fallen out of use.
“This scheme will help us to safeguard some of our most important traditional farm buildings and test how such a scheme might be further rolled-out in future.”
A comprehensive guide is available which details all works which are eligible for funding under the scheme.
