About

Seahouses sits on the Northumberland coast with a working harbour where fishing boats and passenger launches berth. Stacks of orange lobster pots line the quayside and the rhythm of tides shapes the harbour day to day. Small fishmongers and cafes open onto the harbour front and the village functions around its role as a base for sea fisheries and coastal boat services.

A few miles inland, Belford and Wooler form a band of settlements across farmland and river valleys. Belford serves local farms and has a compact centre of shops and services used by surrounding hamlets. Wooler lies at the edge of the Cheviot Hills and is a common starting point for hill walks and ridge routes, with a market square and lanes that lead into moorland and forest tracks.
