Puffin Sea birds Farne Islands

Farne Islands

A group of islands renowned for their spectacular seabird colonies, including puffins, and rich marine wildlife, the Farne Islands are one of the UK’s most important nature reserves.

Just off the Northumberland coast, they are best known for their thriving populations of puffins, Arctic terns, guillemots, and grey seals. Boat trips from Seahouses Harbour (15 mins drive) offer unforgettable close-up encounters with the wildlife, especially during the breeding season when the islands are at their most vibrant.

Steeped in maritime history and once home to early Christian hermits, the Farne Islands combine dramatic coastal scenery with some of the finest wildlife watching in the country.

Alnwick Castle & Garden

The second largest inhabited castle in England, often referred to as the “Windsor of the North,” is the magnificent Alnwick Castle, famed for its dramatic medieval architecture, grand State Rooms, and beautifully maintained grounds.
