Most photographs of the Northumberland coast reach for the grand gesture - the castle on the cliff, the wide open beach, the dramatic sky. Guest of BayView and photographer Alexander McIntosh Weir sees something different. Here is his Northumberland - quieter, closer, and just as extraordinary.
Just 5 miles from BayView, the Farne Islands are home to 43,000 pairs of puffins and one of the largest grey seal colonies in England. From April to July the islands are one of the great British wildlife spectacles - here is everything you need to know before you go.
Rising from the North Sea on a tidal island just 8 miles from BayView, Lindisfarne is one of the most atmospheric and historically significant places in England. Here is everything you need to know to make the most of a visit - including the one thing that makes it unlike anywhere else: the tides.
Northumberland's skies are among the darkest in England - and at BayView, guests have a front-row seat. Settle into the Jetty Cottage as night falls over Budle Bay, and discover why stargazers - and Northern Lights hunters - keep coming back to this extraordinary stretch of coast.
