Sightseeing
For walks, Bamburgh beach is glorious! The best place to park for the beach is to drive down a lane called The Wynding, there are 2 free car parks down there, right next to the beach. Dog friendly (as are all the Northumberland beaches), you can walk all the way to Seahouses, about 3 miles, and reward yourselves with fish and chips at Neptunes!
