The Farne Islands are associated with the story of Grace Darling and her rescue of survivors from the wreck of the Forfarshire. They have no permanent population, the only residents being National Trust assistant rangers during part of the year and an abundance of nesting birds, including the iconic puffin and Arctic terns, as well as a healthy population of seals. Trips to Inner Farne from Seahouses have resuming after being closed at the height of the pandemic. For boat trip information, visit www.farne-islands.com Photo: Jane Coltman
