Our coastline is unique – nowhere else in Britain has such a display of Magnesian Limestone Coastal Grasslands supporting an array of wildflowers. The orchids, sound of skylarks and lapwings in summer are a treat to the senses. The coastal denes support some of the most natural woodland in North East England and provide a valuable habitat for deer, foxes, badgers and bats. Woodland floors are seasonally adorned with wild garlic, bluebells and snowdrops, with birdsong echoing through the mature and elegant oak, ash and yew trees. Seaham beach is the UKs best beach for collecting Sea Glass with collectors from across the world visiting us at No.16, to scour the sand for sea polished brightly coloured glass.
