Summary
The photogenic Northumberland coast is — with mile upon mile of long sandy beaches and big skies, its broad vistas and moody, changeable cloud formations — a delight to the eye … and the photographer’s lens! On this photographers appreciation, we’ll make daily excursions from our comfortable hotel base in search of the region’s wildlife, landscapes and castles. Our visits to the Farne Islands will provide excellent opportunities to photograph a tantalising array of seabirds at close range, from exquisite Arctic Terns to the ever-photogenic Puffins. Back on the mainland, our time will be spent photographing some of the county’s iconic coastline, including Bamburgh Castle, making the best use of light and tides to capture atmospheric images. We end our tour back in Newcastle, where we will photograph the country’s most inland Kittiwake colony against a background of twinkling city lights.
