The local parish church, which is Grade I listed and dates from the Norman era, is dominated by the elevated ruins of Widdrington Castle, which dates from the 18th century. Druridge Bay Country Park is less than two miles distant, and Amble, the lively little harbour at the mouth of the River Coquet, is also conveniently accessible. Amble, once a boatbuilding centre, now has a marina, a port, sandy beaches, and coastal hikes to the Hauxley bird refuge.
