Inner Farne

Описание: The Farne Islands are an archipelago, off the coast of Northumberland. They are a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest.

During the summer months, the islands are home to one of the most significant breeding seabird colonies in the UK.

Visitors can expect unrivalled views of the 200,000 seabirds of 23 different species, including approx 40,000 pairs of puffin, that journey here every year to raise their chicks.

The islands are also an important pupping site for the Atlantic grey seal, with more than 2,000 pups born here every autumn.

This is also a place of significant cultural heritage, with strong links with early Celtic Christianity and St Cuthbert; He lived here as a hermit in the 7th century.
