The villages of Seahouses, Beadnell and Bamburgh can, at first glance, just seem like lovely small villages. But that hides some fascinating history. For Bamburgh, dominated by the Castle, the village might seem insignificant. Not at all. At first glance, Seahouses are just fishing. But that is so wrong, with a rich agricultural, industrial and seafaring history to be seen, if you know where to look. Beadnell is perhaps the most exciting tour. Lovely, quiet, small today. But with a history which is hidden in plain sight which involves monastic communities, industry, and powerful figures in history whose influence is still felt in the village today. Bamburgh, the ancient capital city of Northumbria, is so full of history, both ancient, and more recent. A place of conflict, a place of war, and a place of the first welfare state in the modern world. Amazing place. We love sharing our local area. Come and join us and share our excitement at being here in one or more of our amazing tours.

Walking tour of Northumberland Coast - The area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), with a population of 12,500, includes small ports such as Seahouses and Alnmouth and some of Britain’s last inshore fleets sail from its harbours. Tourism is an important supplement to the local economy. Although the coast is less intensively used than most, it attracts many peak period visitors, both as a holiday destination and as a day trip from nearby towns and Tyneside. The coast remains relatively undeveloped for tourism which is largely based on caravan and camp sites. There is no continuous coastal road or footpath running the length of the coast which contributes to and protects its remoteness.

The walk will feature stories about the ancient history of the estates as well as revealing how the estates survive in the 21st century to maintain a small community committed to its surroundings. You will hear about the famous, history-changing battles that were fought nearby. Mysterious curses made against rival families and murders carried out in more lawless times. Find out why one villages was completely rebuilt by a Victorian lady and discover why coal- mining pit ponies feature on the Earl’s coat of arms. The present day estate is host to a shire horse centre, micro- brewery, miniature railway, working flour mill and art gallery. There is so much to see here and the walk will mention them all. The guide has worked with the estate owner to ensure the facts are correct. The surrounding countryside has breathtaking views towards the cheviot hills and Scotland and the paths followed will be quiet and peaceful
