Going to cresswell towers in a coiuple of weeks, still hoping for a heat wave so we can take advantage of the beautiflu beaches, but if that doesnt happen can anyone recommend places to go, suitable for a fmaily with teenage children.
Will take a seal trip to Farne and also go to Holy island, and have seen wet and wild in newcastle, but what else can you recommend please.
Thanks

the beach at newbiggin and the new biggin heritage centre are great..

if its wet you have the life centre and seven stories in Newcastle.

alnwick garden and castle, my kids love the gardens take a towel and swimming stuff/wetsuit for the water fountains to the side.

we took our bikes and did some nice rides round seahouses area.

If you do make the trip into Newcastle there is plenty to do - Centre for Life, Baltic (free), Discovery Museum (free). There's also great shops. If weather is okay there's an interesting open-top bus tour or walk along the quayside is lovely.
