Puffins and priories
Northumberland is renowned for its historic castles, breathtaking
beaches and fairytale
towns and villages, but did you know it is home to a wide variety of
wildlife?
In spring, an abundance of puffins return to Northumberland to breed on
The Farne Islands and
Coquet Island.
Visit them on wildlife boat trips, where you’ll also see grey seals and sometimes dolphins! Cross the causeway to Lindisfarne Island to visit the castle, priory and taste monk-approved Mead.
