Welcome to South Wamses

South Wamses is a small village located in the county of Northumberland, England. It is situated on the coast of the North Sea and is known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views. The village is home to a small population of around 200 people and is a popular destination for tourists looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of South Wamses is its beach, which stretches for miles along the coast. The beach is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing, and is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seals and seabirds. The village is also home to a number of small shops and cafes, where visitors can sample local delicacies and purchase souvenirs to take home.

Despite its small size, South Wamses has a rich history and is home to a number of historic landmarks. One of the most notable is the ruins of Wamses Castle, which dates back to the 12th century.
