This morning, we take a short walk to the harbour to meet our skipper for a fantastic cruise to the Farne Islands. Your onboard guide will highlight the various wildlife, such as varieties of nesting seabirds including puffins, terns and kittiwakes. There are around 3,000 grey seals amongst the Farne Islands, often seen basking on the rocks – keep an eye out! With spectacular views of the Northumberland coastline, this will be a cruise to remember.
Today, we drive the coastal route to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Driving along the Northumberland coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we’ll see Bamburgh and the remarkable Holy Island before arriving at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Dominated by three bridges crossing the River Tweed, walks along the riverbanks and ancient ramparts offer spectacular views.
