Horse riding is available on the cusp of the village, and there is an impressive golf course on the links close by.
The picture postcard village of Bamburgh, protected by its dramatic fortress, is only 2 miles north with its wide expanse of golden, and often empty, sandy beaches, where the tidal island of Lindisfarne, locally known as Holy Island and the birthplace of Christianity, can be viewed.
A further 2 miles up the coastline brings you to Waren Mill, which is steeped in history. Once an important port, its harbour has long since disappeared, silted up beneath the sands of the estuary. Visit Budle Bay, a bird sanctuary, where at low tide a vast expanse of mud flats is home to countless thousands of sea and land birds, making this location a haven for bird watchers.
The market town of Alnwick, with its own majestic castle, cobbled streets and friendly locals offers many facilities a few miles inland. Alnwick Garden is a popular visitor attraction, with its grand cascade waterfall and restaurant (set within the largest tree house in Europe) and fabulous theme park, Lilidorei. On rainy days discover Barter Books one of the largest second hand stores in England with a gorgeous café and cosy quirky interior. Beach 300 yards.

The flat was great, spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and welcoming - thank you. Finding a lift when we arrived was a real bonus for two people who don't travel light. We plan to return.

Went off season, & although weather was poor & we had colds, we were warm & comfortable & managed to see & do something different every day. Key codes were a bit tricky but the owner was helpful.
