About this activity
Farne Islands lies two to three miles off the Northumberland coast midway between the fishing village of Seahouses and the magnificent Castle of Bamburgh! There are between 15 and 20 islands depending on the state of the tide, so there's plenty to see and explore. From April until the end of July, these islands are dominated by one of the most exciting seabird colonies in the United Kingdom with unrivalled views of 23 species, including around 43,000 pairs of puffins. The islands are also the permanent home for a large, and inquisitive colony of Atlantic or Grey Seals. This is one of the top grey seal pupping sites in England, with more than 2000 pups born out at the islands every Autumn/Winter. So if you're feeling adventurous, head on down.
Inner Farne is open April – October and is home to dive-bombing terns, a medieval chapel, Victorian lighthouse, and information centre all served by an easy access boardwalk.
