Good to Know

Seahouses Harbour is the working heart of the village, where the boats leave for the Farne Islands. Beside it stand old stone lime kilns from the days when lime was shipped from here, and a short walk out along the pier takes you to the little harbour lighthouse.

Why it's on our list: it's always busy with boats coming and going, and on a clear day the view out to the Farnes and along to Bamburgh Castle is wonderful.

Worth knowing: the harbour car park fills up quickly in summer. Coastline Coffee and The Harbour Kitchen are handy for a warm-up.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
