Belford is located in North Northumberland and perfectly located between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, just minutes off the A1. The stunning coastline and sandy beaches of Ross Back Sands and Budle Bay are within a few miles.  Places on the must-visit list are Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Cragside House, Ingram Valley, Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Barter Books in Alnwick and the beautiful Northumberland Coast AONB with Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster, Alnmouth and Warkworth. The Farne Islands is a mecca of wildlife including puffins, grey seals, terns and much more, there are regular boat trips from Seahouses. Puffins, Guillemots, Terns and many others return to our shores in March. 

IMPORTANT: Before planning a trip over to Lindisfarne, it is essential to check the tide times first for safe crossing.  This information can be found online under Holy Island Crossing Times

We are also on a main bus route with services along the Northumberland Coast (Coast and Castles, X18 service) and to all larger towns such as Morpeth, Alnwick and Berwick, with a direct service to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (X15).  Buses also run from outside our door to Berwick upon Tweed station with direct trains to Edinburgh.
