Bearded Seal

A rare Arctic Bearded Seal was found along a stretch of Beadnell Bay today. There have been no more than a handful of records of this species in English Waters in the last 100 years. Our next Water, Wildlife & Walking trip on 27th May with Northumbrian Wildlife Tours will offer a unique opportunity to see this rare seal if it lingers in the area as well as packed day taking in local seabird cliffs, tern colonies and a full guided walk from Craster to Seahouses.

Water, Wildlife & Walking 2011

We've just added an exciting and unique new programme for 2011. Working with Northumbrian Wildlife Tours we're pleased to launch Water, Wildlife & Walking 2011 an exclusive combined boat and walking tour of some of North Northumberland's fantastic coastline.

Sailing out of Seahouses in the early morning we'll be heading south to the old fishing port of Craster, famous for it's kippers and star of many TV shows. On the way we'll make a close approach to one of Northumberland's most atmospheric seabird colonies at Gull Crag; carefully steering into the aptly named Rumbling Churn to view Gull Crag below the craggy remains of Dunstanburgh Castle.

Once at Craster our birdwatching and wildlife guide will be leading a full day walk back to Seahouses via some great birdwatching locations such as Newton Pool and the Long Nanny Tern Colony.
Group sizes are limited for this amazing day to ensure everyone gets to see and hear as much as possible, check out the dates at our programme page (link above) and book early to avoid disappointment.
