1Farne Islands, Northumberland

Off the coast of Northumberland lie the Farne Islands, a wildlife sanctuary that feels worlds away from city life.

Accessible only by boat, the islands are home to one of the largest grey seal colonies in the UK and tens of thousands of seabirds, including puffins. The waters around the islands are also dotted with historic shipwrecks, adding to the sense of adventure. Few international tourists make the trip, but those who do are rewarded with raw natural beauty and unforgettable encounters with wildlife.
