If you take the train to Chathill and then get on the bus for just another quarter of an hour, you will end up in the beautiful seaside town of Seahouses.

With a traditional cosy, small town atmosphere, you can enjoy a day strolling around the harbour watching Bamburgh Castle on the horizon line. As you get lost in the sunset, you can window shop around the unique boutiques or even venture further to the Farne Islands or Lindisfarne.

You will be on the same grounds as the first Vikings on the British Isles...

As a great starting point for exploring Northumberland's wildlife, you can buy a ticket on the spot and go on an impromptu boat tour to spot the puffins - or even seals, especially during winter months. Its beautiful sea life is never to disappoint, and if you are lucky, you can even spot dolphins on these islands.

But this is not all! Seahouses has more to offer than you’d expect, and it is no shocking matter that it brings tourists from all around, either just for a day or the whole summer season. From the beach, you can spot the historical Holy Island, or for another great day trip: remember to check the tide times to cross by car! You will be on the same grounds as the first Vikings on the British Isles - judge for yourself whether it deserves its title as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
