Things to do in Beadnell, Northumberland
The North Sea coastal village of Beadnell lies just to the southeast of Bamburgh in Northumberland.
Due to its curving coastline it is the only west-facing port on England's east coast and is consequently very well sheltered.
In the past there was a limeworks and the historic limekilns, now fully restored, are on land owned by the National Trust.
There are some good pubs, a coffee shop and restaurants in season, offering a choice of places to eat.
Old cottages and pretty houses line the coastal road and the nearby A1 makes the village very accessible.
Beadnell has its own Parish Church which was built in 1746 and is dedicated to St Ebba. A much older Pele Tower, circa 16th century, is part of the local pub, the Craster Arms.
Things to do in Beadnell
One of the main attractions to the area is Beadnell Bay, a 3km stretch of sand to the south of the village.
This lovely area of the wild Northumberland coast is popular for scuba diving, fishing and walking and the nearby Cheviot Hills are an attraction for those who enjoy cycling and hiking amidst stunning scenery.
Boat trips run from Seahouses to the offshore Farne Islands which are home to a cross-section of marine life for divers and interesting coastal flora and fauna for naturalists.
The Howick Hall Gardens and the historic houses at Cragside and Paxton House offer something for every visitor to enjoy.
History of Beadnell
Archaeological evidence suggests that Beadnell has been inhabited for thousands of years.
Close to the site of the lime kilns is the delightful harbour, built in the 1790s.
John Craster gave the harbour to 25 fishermen in 1947 and it remains in the hands of those same fishing families today.
