We went to every Northumbrian seaside town and village between Newbiggin and Alnmouth. All lovely and all selling great chips.
Craster (below) is famous for it's kippers but we don't eat them as they are fiddly and, even filleted, contain a million little bones. We did buy some kipper cakes at the smokery but even those were chock-a-block with bones. Yuck.

Alnmouth (below) is picture perfect. My Dad plays golf here weekly.

The beach and castle at Bamburgh are the classic Northumbrian scene stealers so instead here's a picture of the castle taken from the village looking towards the sea (looks lovely even with a skip and a road sign!):

Seahouses (below) is where the boat trips to The Farne Islands leave from but they don't start running until April. So, we had some chips and watched a blonde stud unload his crabs from his boat (despite being handled by the hunky fisherman we felt sorry for them).
