Fenham Farm offers quality bed & breakfast accommodation on a beautiful coastal spot at Beal overlooking Holy Island in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and of Special Scientific Interest.
For the birdwatcher and lover of nature, this area provides a unique opportunity to see and get close to some of the country’s rarest animals. In the autumn months, the sand flats that are exposed at low tide become a huge feeding ground for geese and waders from around the world. We have marked out some walks around the farm to enable you to enjoy our unique location.
A short boat trip from the nearby seaside village of Seahouses takes you to the Farne Islands, a small cluster of rocky islands which provide a home to thousands of seabirds which breed and nest there including the wonderful puffins. The islands are also home to one of the largest grey seal colonies in the country.
Northumberland is a land of contrasts, from the sandy beaches and rugged cliffs of the coast to the high wilderness of the Cheviot Hills. There are more castles and fortified houses in Northumberland than any other English county. Some of the castles in the area include Bamburgh, complete with its very own dragon legend and Arthurian connections. Lindisfarne on Holy Island just across the sands from Fenham Farm is probably one of the most iconic (and most photographed) castles in the country. Alnwick Castle is the ancestral home to the Duke & Duchess of Northumberland and recently has found fame as the setting of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies.
