Postcard from Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh

Wednesday 28th August
A bit of a dull, grey and drizzly day.
First stop Beadnell







I did find some colour on the Quay.






Then on to Seahouses.

My Grandad (the one who is buried in France) was stationed near Seahouses before he went to France and My Nan went to stay up there with my mum who was then a very young girl. She learnt to talk there and my Nan helped the fisher women mend nets to pay for her lodgings. When my Nan and mum went home to Liverpool a year later no one could understand what my mum was saying!
There was a very grumpy looking seagull at Seahouses.





Next stop Bamburgh,


A bit of late lunch and a wander around the village first.






Then a walk passed the castle to the beach.



and what a beach!
we stopped off at Alnwick for a lovely evening meal at The Tower Restaurant on the way back to Walkworth.

  2. It still looks beautiful despite the grey start. Could your Mum remember much of the time she lived here? Having seen both your photos and those from Louise we must try and visit this lovely area of England.

    Lovely for you to revisit, such memories.

  4. I'm enjoying these posts! We stayed in Warkworth too in August and visited loads of the same places as you - we took a fantastic boat trip to the Farne Islands with Billy Shiels but there are still lots of places we didn't visit around there so I'd love to go back one day.

  7. Great photos of a relatively unknown, beautiful, part of the country (don't tell too many people about it!!). We had a week's holiday up there, just north of Bamburgh, a couple of years ago.The beaches are fantastic aren't they, and almost deserted most of the time.

    Seahouses is best known for it's fish and chips. Did you indulge?

  8. Oh we used to go on holiday to Bamburgh, I have very, very fond memories of that beach. I'd love to take the boys there, and to Seahouses (my cousin goes often and finds some lovely beach glass), the drive is just that bit too far....maybe a holiday cottage on year would be good. Some stunning photos again, thanks for the memories :) Bethx
