A little further north you can cross the causeway and visit Holy Island (check the crossing time) for a truly step back in time experience.

The beaches up the Northumberland Coast Area Of National Beauty remain unspoilt and underpopulated, so there is always a place to find some seclusion should you wish. Cresswell and Druridge Bay beaches remain isolated most of the time and are only a short drive away. Whilst in Northumberland why not take a trip over to Hadrian’s Wall for a completely different day trip away from the coast and discover more about the Romans and the famous Roman Wall?
