Hiking routesNorthumberland Farm lies less than a mile from the beach and only a 10 minute walk from the local pub in the North Northumberland AONB (Voted “Best UK Holiday County of the Year” at the 2018 British Travel Awards). There is a host of visitor attractions on the doorstep including the huge breeding colonies of puffins and seals on the Farne Islands as well as grand castles at Bamburgh, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Dunstanburgh and Alnwick. The Douglas family have farmed in the area for many generations, traditionally in the Scottish Borders and then into England a hundred years ago or so. The farm is a traditional one with grassland supporting cattle and sheep alongside cereals such as wheat and barley.
Explore the farm in springtime and see newly born lambs gamboling in the fields next to the lodges. Children can help out with the newborns and really get a feel for life on the farm. Bottle feeding the lambs always goes down a treat! Beef cattle graze throughout the farm all summer long. Wildlife is very important in the area. The traditional approach to farming works in harmony with nature and gives rise to superb biodiversity throughout the farm. The farm has lots of birds, plants, and insects, and other wildlife in abundance… hares, badgers, roe deer, owls, yellowhammers, merlins, kestrels, geese, swans, and buntings galore. Northumberland Farm truly is a wildlife haven! You’ll be able to enjoy a relaxing family holiday at this unique coastal location. Experience luxury camping for yourself by staying in the Canvas Frills Lodge that has its own en-suite private shower!
You’ll also be able to hunt for your own eggs from our chickens and pet lambs every day. The honesty shop offers local honey from bees on the farm, local ice cream, oysters as well as daily essentials. Learn about daily life on the farm, check the livestock each morning with the farmer!
Tourists have long been drawn to the area by the many attractions along the coast and there are many options! From a boat trip to the Farne Islands from the very pretty Seahouses harbour less than five minutes away to the splendour of Bamburgh Castle just ten minutes up the coast. Make sure to check the crossing times before setting off to Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the causeway to the island is flooded by the incoming tide twice a day!
Peace and tranquillity are easy to find away from the bustle of the busier spots, try Budle Bay and the mouth of the Long Nanny Burn, and the stunning walks along the coast from Low Newton, across crescent-shaped Embleton Bay to Dunstanburgh Castle and then onward to the capital of the kipper, the tiny village of Craster that crowds around a dramatic harbour.

Heading inland, the countryside soon becomes rolling and then quite hilly as you move into the northern end of the Pennines, locally known as the Cheviots and hosts the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park is really big – at 572 square miles – and is Europe’s largest area of protected night sky. During the day there are superb walks across the moors and views over the border into Scotland while at night you can see thousands of miles into space at the Kielder Observatory.
The local village is Seahouses and is well equipped with useful shopping and amenities. Seahouses has been a tourist destination for over a hundred years. There are a load of local options for food and entertainment – whether traditional harbour fish and chips or local pubs offering excellent gastro options or really great local seafood and shellfish. The local oysters come from beds near Lindisfarne that date from 1381!
