💡 Good to know
- Puffin season on the Farne Islands and safe causeway crossings to Lindisfarne at low tide — check the tide tables before driving out, every year cars are caught.
- Bitter North Sea winds empty the beaches; castles keep short winter hours but the emptiness suits Hadrian's Wall walks.
