The small fishing village of Craster is well known for its good kippers, which can be bought at the factory above the tiny harbour. From the village, there is access along the top of the cliffs to the National Trust property of Dunstanborough Castle, which occupies a solitary position along the beautiful Northumberland coast. Originally built in the 14th century, the castle was later enlarged by John of Gaunt and later badly damaged during the Wars of the Roses. There is a sandy beach and rolling dunes at Alnmouth (5 miles), which boasts a fine 9-hole golf course situated right on the coast, claiming to be the second oldest in the country. Boat trips can be made from Seahouses to the Farne Islands, which is one of Britain’s most important seabird sanctuaries. Coming under the care of the National Trust, the islands are home to puffins, eider ducks and different species of terns. Along from Seahouses, Bamburgh is famous for its restored castle towering above the tiny village which came under the ownership of Lord Armstrong, a wealthy engineer and arms manufacturer, who made Cragside (near Morpeth) the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectric power. Historic Alnwick, seat of the dukes of Northumberland, lies 5 miles distant and hosts an annual fair in June – a medieval re-enactment lasting the entire week. Renowned for its famous castle which has featured in several films, the castle’s 19th century walled garden has been transformed into a contemporary water garden with fountains and waterfalls. Holy Island is half an hour’s drive away. Golf locally. Shop and pub 500 yards.
