About Farne Islands

The Farne Islands are rocky islands, once home to saints, soldiers and famous lighthouse keepers, now a sanctuary for 23 species of seabirds, including around 43,000 pairs of puffin and one of Europe’s largest grey seal colonies.

Excellent place for wildlife photography, sea-kayaking and diving.
