The entry reads: ‘It’s the view from Seahouses that sets it apart from its neighbours. The village – which is approximately 20km north of Alnwick and included in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – has a stunning view of both Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands.

‘Visit in the early summer to go seal and puffin spotting from the village harbour or enjoy a tasty crab sandwich from The Olde Ship Inn’.
