North Northumberland Coastal Plain, Eastern Arable
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The North Northumberland Coastal Plain fringes the North Sea between Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Amble, including Holy Island and the Farne Islands. An open, windswept landscape, it is characterised by dramatic rocky cliffs, sandy beaches and intertidal habitats, with farmland and intimate river valleys inland. Just 4% is urban area and only 3% is woodland. Of the land, 24% falls within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), almost all of which lies within this Character Area.
