Waren Mill is situated on Budle Bay, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its bird life, which draws bird watchers to the bay from far and wide. The unspoilt, sandy beaches provide safe bathing under the shadow of the castle and a playground for the increasing number of wind and kite surfers.

The nearby village of Bamburgh with its imposing castle, is well stocked with pubs, restaurants and local shops.

It also has a large village green for games and picnics and tennis courts. Bamburgh is also home to the Grace Darling museum.

Three miles to the south of Bamburgh is the fishing village of Seahouses, where you can take a trip to the Farne Islands or hire a boat for sea fishing.

The village prides itself on its locally caught fish and lobster which are available to buy to cook and through fish and chip shops.

The Northumberland Region
The Heritage coastline of Northumberland is renowned for its historic castles and unspoilt, sandy beaches.

Waren Mill lies on the seafront mid-way between the market towns of Alnwick, famous for its castle and gardens and the border fishing town of Berwick. Alnwick castle was recently made famous as Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter films. It is also surrounded by the award winning Alnwick gardens which contain the worlds largest tree house, which offers high quality lunches, teas and dinners in enchanting surroundings.

Inland from the coast, Northumberland has a breathtaking natural beauty. The Cheviot hills and surrounding moors and valleys provide magnificent walks and cycling opportunities.

The area also boasts a number of fine golf courses including Bamburgh, Belford, Seahouse and Embleton all within a 10 mile radius.
