This is a popular holiday destination for water sport enthusiasts and will appeal to those who yearn to wander along the seashore to feel the sand between their toes, listen to the lap of the waves against the shoreline and inhale the invigorating sea air...

Just a few miles inland is the historic market town of Alnwick, protected by its majestic castle, the ancestral home to the Duke of Northumberland (and  film location for Harry Potter's Hogwarts Academy!). Visitors will enjoy seeing Alnwick Garden - a spectacular contemporary interpretation of a formal garden and includes a Grand Cascade waterfall, a poison Garden and a restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe! The picturesque village of Bamburgh, dominated by its own dramatic fortress is only 5 miles north and boasts one of the finest stretches of Heritage coastline in England - this region is proud to have designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
