Holiday, 1. Seahouses

Disclaimer: a lot of my holiday photos were taken by my brother-in-law, usually the better ones!

We stayed for a week in a small holiday town called Seahouses, on the north-east coast of Northumberland. It is an attractive place, but may be gloomy in the winter months. It was a fishing village, famous for kippers, now it is mostly holiday houses. The boats to the Farne Islands and the Holy Island leave from Seahouses.


 








  

 

The castle in the distance is Bamburgh Castle.

What a beautiful and atmospheric place! The pictures really do the place justice! I especially like the ones with Bamburgh Castle in the distance!

I didn't make it to Seahouses when I was in Northumberland, so it's great to see something completely new. :-) Thanks for the factual information about Seahouses. I didn't know any of that.

It's a pleasant place to stay, and convenient for excursions.
