Farne Islands Description
From Seahouses and the neighboring village of Bamburgh there are motorboat trips to the uninhabited Farne Islands, a group of some 30 dolerite islets lying between 1.5 and 5mi (2-8km) offshore, now a bird reserve. More than 20 species nest on the islands, which are also the home of seals. During the nesting season only a few of the islands are open to visitors. St Cuthbert spent eight years here as a hermit.
