Northumberland village wins best seaside resort for 2nd year in a row
Bamburgh, on the Northumberland coast, was rated top out of 87 destinations
Bamburgh has been named Britain's Best Seaside Resort for the 2nd year in a row.
The small village, on the Northumberland coast, topped a list of 87 destinations around the country, which were part of a survey done by Which? of over 4 thousand people.
Bamburgh received 5 stars for its beaches, seafront, peace and quiet, scenery and value for money - overall scoring 87% - with people praising the clifftop castle as "Spectacular."
The village, which has a population of around 400, boasts a historic and imposing castle with a pretty cricket pitch below, miles of beaches with clean sand and rock pools and the wildlife of the nearby Farne Islands.
Rory Boland, editor of magazine Which? Travel, said: "The British seaside hasn't boomed like this since the 1960s.
"Holidaymakers had such a fantastic time in their caravans, tents and beach lodges over the past two years that a coastal break on home shores is on the cards for many, even with restrictions on overseas travel lifted.
"Prices for a UK stay have increased but there's no need to pay over the odds. For a holiday on a budget it's best to aim for an off-season trip.
"Head to one of the many well-priced resorts with your bucket and spade, an empty stomach for the candyfloss and a pile of 2p coins and go make your fortune on the slots."
