The pretty town of Alnmouth is nearby as well as the charming town of Alnwick which is just a short drive away where you will find a stunning castle and gardens or drive a little further to attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo. Take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of an unusual bird or seal. If you love wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place with RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre.

Thank you for the wonderful welcome pack - we can see why the cake recipe was included! The cottage is very convenient for Alnwick and Alnmouth and exploring the rest of the beautiful Northumberland coast. There is a nice circular walk from the cottage door round to the beaches at Alnmouth.
