Birds and Wildlife

Northumberland is blest with unspoilt tracks of land, both coastal and inland in the National Park and as such there are great opportunities for exploring the abundant wildlife in the area.

The Farne Islands in particular are famous for their prolific bird colonies - regular boat trips depart from Seahouses. There are many other sites for the avid wildlife enthusiast however, and we can provide specific facilities for visitors involved in outdoor activities, including:
