Set amongst the rugged natural beauty of England’s wild north coast, there is much to explore and discover. Just a short drive away is the historic Alnwick Castle, stroll amongst the courtyards and archways that featured dominantly in the first two Harry Potter films as the location for Hogwarts. Right next to the castle are the beautiful Alnwick Gardens, a 12-acre landscaped garden with its grand tiered water feature, the Grand Cascade, exotic plant life and impressive wooden treehouse restaurant.
If you are looking for more history then a stroll around the headland of the crumbling Dunstanburgh Castle is a must, the focus of intense fighting during the War of the Roses providing an embattled buffer between England and Scotland. Take the short walk from Craster to fully appreciate the scale and drama of the castle approach. You could even stop off at the golden sands of Embleton Bay to enjoy a lazy snooze and a spectacular view.
If the rolling waves are calling to you, why not take a boat trip to the fantastic Farne Islands, between Seahouses and Bamburgh. At its peak it’s home to upwards of 100,000 pairs of breeding birds with 290 species found on the island, most notably the Puffin who build their nests there. From March to November boats can be taken for stop offs on the two islands, an absolute must for nature lovers.
A trip to Craster harbour is well worth it if you are looking for some fresh seafood fare and a bustling pub scene. L Robson & Sons has a traditional fish smoker producing Craster Kippers that you can pick up for lunch, whilst the Jolly Fisherman is a great pub with a seaside terrace and oysters on the menu. Walk off your feast by taking a scenic stroll down the Northumberland Costal Path which passes right through the pub terrace.
