Discover the Beauty of the Inner Farne Islands
Inner Farne is the largest of the Farne Islands Group. Here you can land on the National Trust Bird Sanctuary for approximately one hour. Free for National Trust members.
Former home to St.Cuthbert, the Inner Farne is home to one of the largest Bird Sanctuaries in the UK. In April, the Puffins and Terns have started to arrive but they don’t usually start breeding until May, all the way through until July.
It also homes two very important religious buildings. St.Cuthbert’s Chapel and the Peel Tower. The island is also lucky to host Inner Farne Lighthouse. One of the first ever to be both automated and powered by solar energy.
About
Due to restricted island landings by the National Trust this year, booking in advance is highly recommended. This trip includes a one-hour landing on Inner Farne, a National Trust Bird Sanctuary, along with a scenic cruise around the Farne Islands. Guided by Trinity House Lighthouse Attendant George, you’ll enjoy expert commentary while spotting resident and migratory seabirds like puffins, guillemots, and razorbills (April–July). You’ll also visit one of Europe’s largest Grey Seal colonies, home to seals year-round.
In addition to incredible wildlife encounters, the trip follows the historic rescue route of local heroine Grace Darling, with George, the current Longstone Lighthouse attendant, as your guide. Throughout the journey, he shares fascinating insights into the islands’ history, wildlife, and quirky local stories. With an expert crew on board, this experience offers a unique blend of nature, history, and adventure.
