Best places: Nature preserves in Cumberland

👍👍 Excellent trip with Serenity Tours, nearly three hours with an hour on the Inner Farne island which is free to land on for National Trust members. I only had my phone camera but I was amazed how close we could actually get to the nesting birds; so an expensive super zoom camera wasn't really necessa...

👍👍 Wonderful day out, lots of different routes to walk on the White Cliffs. Great views of the harbour but becareful nit to go to close to the edge. Some parts, especially on the edge are scary as there are no barriers. The light house has s coffee shop you can rest in.

Wildflower meadows, woodland & wetland habitats protected for the benefit of local wildlife.

Car park is free leading onto a fabulous beach, that is really clean and is also part of the English coastal route. Try and get here as the sun is setting for some amazing views, across the Ir...

👍 Beautiful little nature reserve just up the road from Trentham Gardens. Small carpark but hardsurfaced. The woods themselves are well laid out some paths have had hardcore laid down can be a little hard on doggies paws. Can be very tranquil but is between an industrial estate and a train line so noi...
