View of the Farne Islands

Highlight • Beach

Great views out to the Farne Island. Lovely on the sunny day. But it can be brutal in a cold North Easterly wind, coming right of the North Sea. A route to pick for a nice day

Lion's Head Fountain, Bamburgh

Highlight • Historical Site

The Lord Crewe Trust played a pivotal role in the village's reconstruction, establishing a comprehensive support system for its residents. This encompassed essential amenities such as a school, dispensary, hospital, coastguard service, lifeboat, and a welfare center catering to shipwrecked mariners. The presence of the fountain could potentially be linked to these transformative efforts.
