and the Longstone Lighthouse, home of Grace Darling. You can also charter
a boat for sea-fishing or diving in and around the many wrecks situated
just off the coast.
The Farne Islands are also a haven for nesting sea birds (including our
famous Puffins) visited by bird watchers from all over the world.
These along with the seal colonies are easily accessible via a boat trip
from Seahouses Harbour. Our guesthouse is popular with bird watchers being
situated so close to the harbour and all of it's amenities.
Wherever you decide to explore in North Northumberland you will find you

Northumberland.

Northumberland and the setting Alnwick Castle the home of 'Harry Potter'
as well as the Alnwick Garden!
Award winning clean beaches are on our doorstep (not literally). You

the usual crowds you would normally find on other UK resorts.

easy driving distance as are our neighbouring harbours, such as Craster
- famous for its kippers.
Holy Island (also known as Lindisfarne) is a short drive away like many
of the other sights in our area and is accessible via a tidal causeway
