Seventeen years after ospreys returned to Northumberland for the first time in centuries, Kielder Forest is closing in on a landmark: 150 fledged chicks. Every one of its eight nests produced eggs this year, a first for the site.
Beadnell is one of Northumberland's most quietly unusual villages, home to the only west-facing harbour on England's east coast. Discover its medieval roots, industrial limekilns, and a working harbour that still lands crab and lobster today.
