Grace Darling Memorial

Highlight • Monument

Birth: Nov. 24, 1815
Death: Oct. 20, 1842

A British heroine. Grace spent her youth in various lighthouses with her lighthouse keeper father. On the 17th of September 1838, whilst living on the Farne Islands she spotted the ship, Forfarshire, which had run aground on rocks a few hundred yards away. With no foresight for her own safety, she and her father promptly took a boat across the treacherous waters to the other island and rescued nine frightened survivors, bringing them safely back to the lighthouse. She was revered throughout the United Kingdom during her lifetime for her remarkable bravery. The rescue was committed to verse by poet William Wordsworth. There is also a Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh.

View of Bamburgh Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Everyone goes to Bamburgh, when in this vicinity. Not many people explore NORTH of Bamburgh. The 'crowds' (*relative term) disperse and the beach is deserted. The stretch of coast around to Budle Bay, into the Lindisfarne Nature Reserve, is lovely. If you're here - go there...

White Stag Painting at Blackrocks Point

Highlight • Monument

No one knows why there is a white stag painted on the rock near to the lighthouse at Blackrocks Point although legend has it that it was because a white stag jumped into the sea to escape hunters after being chased from Spindlestone - taken from Google.
