ACCESS STATEMENTS, PRE VISIT INFO & WEBSITE LINKS FOR PLACES OF INTEREST WE ARE VISITING DURING THIS BREAK. PLEASE BE CONFIDENT ON YOUR ABILITY TO GET THE BEST OUT
OF THESE HISTORIC PLACES AND OPPORTUNITIES:
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SEAL, BIRD AND INNER FARNE ISLANDS CRUISE: The Landing Cruise is not recommended for anyone with mobility difficulties as there is no disabled access to the island. Whilst there is no disabled access at Seahouses harbour either; boats and their crews can usually work around this with the tides. With high tides it may dictate access to the boat may be from the end of the pier via a stone staircase. Food can be consumed on board the vessel. This statement will be updated when sailing times are known for 2026
