Budle\u00a0Bay is a vast yet shallow estuary with huge exposed mud flats at low tide, creating a beautiful\u00a0and important sanctuary for thousands of coastal and land birds. The miles of mudflats and\u00a0grassy dunes form the backdrop of the bay at low tide, and become home to an abundant\u00a0array of sea birds, grey seals and wildlife. The area is very popular with birdwatchers,\u00a0particularly in the low season, when thousands of wildfowl and waders seek refuge and\u00a0winter roosting on the sheltered, food rich bay.<\/p>\n

      The sandy beaches are embellished by amazing rock formations which appear out of the\u00a0waters at low tide and form a breathtaking foreground out to the sea, The Farne Islands and\u00a0Holy Island beyond. The beaches are vast and sweeping, and are awarded distinctions for\u00a0their quality and cleanliness. A gentle circular walk leads from the beach at Budle Bay to\u00a0the beach and castle at adjoining Bamburgh, returning through lush farmland dotted with\u00a0picturesque stone-walled farm buildings and stunning views of the sea and the Cheviot Hills.<\/p>\n

      Prior to the formation of the mudflats, Budle Bay had an industrial past. It was once the\u00a0extremely busy port for Bamburgh during the rule of King Henry III in the 13th Century. The\u00a0harbour has now disappeared beneath the rising silt of the bay that has resulted in the mud\u00a0flats, but some of the remaining buildings still hint towards the past. There was a corn-mill\u00a0here, fed by water from the Waren Burn diverted into a mill race, which is how the hamlet of\u00a0Waren Mill got its name in 1187. Budle Bay Croft played an important role in supporting the\u00a0grinding of corn at The Water Mill, and then carting it over to the Corn Mill by horse before\u00a0being shipped world wide. There are traces of the original mill race within Budle Bay Croft,\u00a0and the Waren Burn gurgles along the side of the smallholding. The bay was also used to ship\u00a0burned lime from the nearby lime kilns, the remains of which can still be found in the area. It\u00a0is hard to believe now, but the port of Waren Mill was one of Europe\u2019s busiest!<\/p>\n

      This area of Northumberland\u2019s historic coastline is truly magical, usually disturbed only by\u00a0the wind and the sea as it lashes against the towering cliffs, where the only other sound is of\u00a0the screeching gulls or geese above. It is a region, that once visited, touches the soul, and to\u00a0which you will return again and again. And Budle Bay Croft is a great location from which to\u00a0explore this wondrous place.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
