About

Serenity is one of the boat operators on Seahouses harbour, running trips out to the Farne Islands to see one of the largest grey seal colonies in the world and the seabirds that nest there — puffins, guillemots and razorbills in spring and early summer.

Options include a cruise around the islands and longer trips with a landing on Inner Farne, the largest island, which is cared for by the National Trust and was once home to St Cuthbert.

Good to know

Trips run from March to October, weather permitting. Inner Farne landings carry a separate National Trust landing fee for non-members, paid on top of the boat fare. Puffin season is roughly April to July. If you'd like to land at Longstone Lighthouse instead, that's only possible with Golden Gate.

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.
