Bamburgh Play Area

If you’re heading to Bamburgh with a toddler in tow, this little play area is genuinely worth the stop. It’s compact and straightforward — swings and a climbing structure — but that’s honestly all you need for the under-6 crowd. Everything feels well-maintained and clean, which isn’t always a given at coastal spots that take a battering from the weather. Parking is right there, so you’re not lugging kids and bags half a mile, and you’re already in one of the prettiest corners of Northumberland anyway.
