Our doggy holiday was so popular this year we are continuing with the theme of doggy beach holidays. This time we have found a hotel right near a sandy beach.

 

DETAILS

Bamburgh is a village on the coast of Northumberland. The beach was named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and we think this makes it just right for a doggy beach holiday.  An expansive sandy beach ideal for stretching those doggy and human legs!

The back drop is the impressive Bamburgh Castle which is one of the most important Anglo-Saxon archaeological sites in the world and can be visited whilst you are there. Dogs are allowed on leads in the grounds but sadly not inside the castle.

Bamburgh was also the birth place  of Grace Darling one of the Victorian era’s most celebrated heroines – she worked in her families lighthouse and risked her own life at aged 22 to rescue stranded survivors of a wrecked steamship. She became known internationally for her bravery and received a Gold Medal of Bravery. At only 26 she died from tuberculosis and her funeral took place at St Aidan’s church in Bamburgh.

You can hear more of her story at the RNLI Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh. https://rnli.org/about-us/our-history/timeline/1838-grace-darling

With plenty to see and do in the area we think this is an ideal spot for a beach doggy holiday . There are also lots of dog friendly places to take a rest and drink a cuppa or try a local brew.
