Highlights

Summary

Summary

The Northumberland coast is photogenic — with mile upon mile of long sandy beaches and big skies, its broad vistas and moody, changeable cloud formations are pleasing to the eye … and the photographer’s lens! We’ll make daily excursions from our comfortable hotel base in search of the region’s wildlife, landscapes and castles. Our visits to the Farne Islands will provide excellent opportunities to photograph a tantalising array of seabirds at close range, from exquisite Arctic Terns to the ever-photogenic Puffins. Back on the mainland, our time will be spent photographing some of the county’s iconic castles, including Bamburgh, making the best use of light and tides to capture atmospheric images.

  • Photograph Arctic Terns bringing Sandeels to their chicks
  • Seabird colonies including Puffins & Guillemots
  • Razorbill, Kittiwake, Shag & Common Eider
  • Spend a day on Lindisfarne
