Bamburgh Poppies
We get 2 waves of Poppies in the Dunes in front of Waterford. This is the first and is an Oriental Poppy that almost certainly spread into the Dunes from neighbouring gardens, when it appears we always feel that Summer has arrived 😎

Bank Holiday Beach Walk
A favourite walk for us is from the house along the beach to Seahouses and back. You can get the bus back if you don’t feel energetic.
It’s a great one at low tide and this morning the sun was shining and this view back to the Castle over the Dunes is to die for!

Lights out Bamburgh
The supply into the Village isn’t very reliable and that’s when our big battery comes into it’s own, whilst Bamburgh was in darkness last night until 2:30am, it was still all systems go in Waterford. It was part of a big investment we made a year ago, adding new Solar Panels and EV Charger. In that time we’ve generated 4.5 MW, 30% of our usage and equivalent to reducing emissions by over 2 Tonnes of CO2. It’s nice to add to our Eco credentials but the biggest benefit is uninterrupted power for our Guests.

Those sunbeams 🤩

Bamburgh Rays
This is a favourite route dropping into Bamburgh but with the added bonus of a great showing of crepuscular rays and a little early morning mist hanging over the Village.

Alnwick Castle
Whilst we are only 400m from must visit Bamburgh Castle, you’re spoilt for choice in Northumberland with 70 Castles across the County to reminded you that this was heavily fought over land. Alnwick is the other great iconic Castle of the County, seat of the Duke of Northumberland and extensively used in the Harry Potter films. There are themed activities there during the summer, or just visit it for its own magnificent sake, you can also get combined tickets to take in the Alnwick Garden too (dogs are now allowed on Thursdays & Sundays but not in the Castle).

Sunday Beach Walks
One of the walks we love to do from the house is the length of and then grab a coffee & sweet treat at the Bait at Bamburgh and sit a while to enjoy the view.
If you’d prefer something savoury they do a terrific selection of freshly made rolls with great local produce.
What’s not to like 😋

Sunrise Selfie
Standing on the beach at sunrise with this backdrop is pretty unbeatable, not surprisingly Bamburgh Beach was voted the 3rd best in the World.
