Overview

The villages of Seahouses, Beadnell and Bamburgh can, at first glance, just seem like lovely small villages. But that hides some fascinating history. For Bamburgh, dominated by the Castle, the village might seem insignificant. Not at all.
At first glance, Seahouses are just fishing. But that is so wrong, with a rich agricultural, industrial and seafaring history to be seen, if you know where to look.
Beadnell is perhaps the most exciting tour. Lovely, quiet, small today. But with a history which is hidden in plain sight which involves monastic communities, industry, and powerful figures in history whose influence is still felt in the village today.
Bamburgh, the ancient capital city of Northumbria, is so full of history, both ancient, and more recent. A place of conflict, a place of war, and a place of the first welfare state in the modern world. Amazing place.

We love sharing our local area. Come and join us and share our excitement at being here in one or more of our amazing tours.

We also explore the fascinating and interesting role of the Lord Crewe Charity in the shape of the village and its history.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Beadnell, Beadnell, Northumberland, England

The Beadnell Tour is a special one. The history of this beautiful village is so often hidden in plain sight. Walk around without our guide and you see a lovely quiet place. On a Villages in Time Walk, see the amazing history of the place - the older harbour, the lost monastic community, and the industry and fishing heritage which is otherwise not so clear.

Duration: 2 hours

This is one of the most beautiful and ancient Christian sites in England. It is named after its founder, the amazing Aiden. The Church itself is full of history and plays a vital part in the story, not only of Bamburgh, but of Christianity in the North.

Did this with 3 teenage children, parents and grandparents and a dog. Everyone of us (even those who weren't especially looking forward to it) found this to be a truly memorable experience. We were very lucky with good weather, which doubtlessly made a difference, but the commentary and warm hospitality from the crew absolutely made this the brilliant and informative time we had.

I found Seahouses perfectly acceptable.. I’d heard it was a scruffy port but it’s just another tourist town with the usual gift shops , pubs and cafes… and people of a certain age group ! I enjoyed looking astound and the local Coop has everything you need if on a self catering holiday .. We had a nice day … we were 2 miles away in Beadnell .. No complaints

Just spent a few days in Seahouses with my sisters and thought we would spend a couple hours in company with Mick. A very interesting and enjoyable excursion around seahouses that helped to make our holiday more pleasurable and memorable. Pleasant person easygoing and full of illuminating and interesting stories about Seahouses history that we would never have known about otherwise.
