Bamburgh has just been named the second most desired holiday destination in the UK - and it is not hard to see why. But ask anyone who knows this stretch of the Northumberland coast well and they will tell you the same thing: the question is not whether to visit, but when. Because Bamburgh in October looks nothing like Bamburgh in June, and both are extraordinary.
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.
