This stunning film will whet your appetite for the wild places and wildlife that can be encountered in North Northumberland, both on the coast and in the Northumberland National Park
Birdwatching
The Northumberland Coast is a bird-watchers paradise. Activity at the seabird colonies peaks in June and July. From August, passage migrants pass through on their way from northern breeding areas to their winter quarters and birds that come here for the winter begin to arrive.
