UK village with fascinating history and 'stunning' beach ranked best in the country

This seaside village in Northumberland has the UK's best beach according to a recent survey—and it’s easy to see why tourists love it.


Northumberland is full of picturesque towns and villages perfect for UK staycations, from Kielder to Corbridge.


Another must-visit spot in the northeast is this hidden gem; a charming coastal village known for having the country’s top beach.

Located in the heart of Northumberland, about an hour’s drive from Newcastle, Bamburgh draws in thousands of visitors every year.


With its famous castle, stunning coastlines, and beautiful walking trails, it’s a popular destination for tourists across the UK.


But Bamburgh’s main attraction is its beach, which was just named the best in the UK by Which? for the fourth year in a row.



The consumer website surveyed over 4,700 people about their experiences in UK seaside towns over the past year to find the winner.


People were asked to rate different aspects, like beach quality, food options, value for money, and local attractions.


Bamburgh took the top spot, beating other favourites like Portmeirion in Gwynedd and St Andrews in Fife.


Which? said: “Loved by visitors for its ‘wild’ and ‘beautiful’ beach with its towering castle, Bamburgh claimed first place in the survey for the fourth year in a row, scoring an impressive 86%.”


Visitors have been amazed by Bamburgh’s “magnificent” and “perfectly untouched” beach, with some calling it “probably the most impressive in the British Isles” and giving top marks for its clean sands, scenic views, and peaceful atmosphere.


Remember - LeaveNoTrace!


As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!


Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
