Welcome to Inner Farne

Inner Farne is a small island located off the coast of Northumberland, England. The island is known for its stunning natural beauty and rich history. It is home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, and guillemots, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers. The island is also home to a colony of grey seals, which can often be seen basking on the rocks.

The island has a long and fascinating history, dating back to the 7th century when it was home to a monastery. The monastery was founded by St. Aidan, an Irish monk who came to Northumberland to spread Christianity. The monastery was destroyed by the Vikings in the 9th century, but the ruins can still be seen on the island today. In the 14th century, a small castle was built on the island to protect it from Scottish raids. The castle was later used as a lighthouse and is now a popular tourist attraction.

Visitors to Inner Farne can take a boat trip from the nearby town of Seahouses to the island. Once on the island, visitors can explore the ruins of the monastery and castle, as well as take a walk around the island to see the seabirds and seals. The island is also home to a small visitor center, where visitors can learn more about the history and wildlife of Inner Farne. Overall, Inner Farne is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, wildlife, or simply stunning natural beauty.
