Embleton Bay

Reviewed By H7091ZNdavidd - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Northumberland is blessed with many beautiful beaches and this wide sandy bay is one of the best. Tucked away behind a golf course and with a view of Dunstanburgh castle this is an unspoilt and well kept secret perfect for dogs and the grandkids loved paddling in the sea.

Ferny Rigg Alpacas

​ A fun relaxing stroll in the country with a furry dinosaur who is guaranteed to make you smile. Come and walk one of our wonderful Alpacas in the Upper North Tyne Valley situated in the Northumberland National park. The beautiful countryside is within sight of the Kielder Dam just outside the village of Falstone, close to Bellingham. Booking essential. We also have two holiday cottages at the farm too, these are called Ferny Rigg Byre and Merry Burn Barn. Bookable through cottages.com
