Farne Islands (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
The Farne Islands are possibly the most exciting seabird colony in England with unrivalled views of 23 species, including around 37,000 pairs of puffins. It's also home to a large grey seal colony, with more than 1,000 pups born every autumn. Historically, the islands have strong links with Celtic Christianity and St Cuthbert, who lived here in the 7th century. There's also a medieval pele tower and Victorian lighthouse, plus a visitor centre and easy access boardwalk. Many of the islands hide underwater at high tide.
About the area
If it’s history you’re after, there’s heaps of it in Northumberland. On Hadrian’s Wall you can imagine scarlet-cloaked Roman legionaries keeping watch for painted Pictish warriors while cursing the English weather and dreaming of home.
