North Sunderland is a desirable location yet close to the glorious coastline with the sandy golden sands of Seahouses lying closeby.  There are plenty of shops, a supermarket, cafes and fish and chip shops with restaurants which are renowned in the area.  A huge attraction to Seahouses is its boat trips to The Farne Islands, where you can see puffins during spring and summer, grey seal colonies and an array of other wildlife throughout the year.  The neighbouring village of Bamburgh with a wide sandy bay has one of the county’s most iconic fortresses on the coastline which was one home to the kings of ancient Northumbria.

There is a regular bus service through Seahouses which commences its journey from Newcastle and continues along the villages on the coast to Berwick.  The A1 which runs through the county from North to South is within easy reach with links to the wider motorway networks.   There is a small railway station at Chathill with limited services however the main stations at Alnmouth and Berwick offer a fast train service to Edinburgh and Newcastle with onward connections throughout the country.
