DETAILS

Seahouses is a village on the coast of Northumberland – a 10 minute drive or a 3 mile walk to Bamburgh beach. The beach was named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and a great place for stretching the legs and maybe some sea swimming! Bamburgh Castle is nearby which is one of the most important Anglo-Saxon archaeological sites in the world and can be visited whilst you are there.

Bamburgh was also the birth place  of Grace Darling one of the Victorian era’s most celebrated heroines – she worked in her families lighthouse and risked her own life at aged 22 to rescue stranded survivors of a wrecked steamship. She became known internationally for her bravery and received a Gold Medal of Bravery. At only 26 she died from tuberculosis and her funeral took place at St Aidan’s church in Bamburgh.

You can hear more of her story at the RNLI Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh. https://rnli.org/about-us/our-history/timeline/1838-grace-darling

With plenty to see and do in the area we think this is an ideal spot for a short break with like minded women.
