Seahouses is a large village on the North Northumberland coast in England and is within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Seahouses attracts lots of visitors, mainly from the north east area. However national and international tourists often come to Seahouses whilst visiting the Northumberland National Park, Northumberland Coast and the Farne Islands. Seahouses also has a working fishing port, which also serves the tourist trade, being the embarkation point for boat trips to the Farne Islands for seeing seals and seabirds, and hearing a commentary on the islands and the Grace Darling story or scuba diving on the many Farne Islands wrecks.
There are claims that kippers were first created in Seahouses in the 1800s, and they are still produced locally to this day
The village now known as Seahouses was originally named Sunderland, then North Sunderland (to distinguish it from the Wearside city of the same name) and was a mile or so inland from the sea.When a purpose built fishing community was built by the sea it comprised small cottages or ‘sea houses’. With the coming of the railway, two stations were built on the branch line from Chathill. North Sunderland had its own station and the station at the end of the line by the sea was called Seahouses. Thus over the years as the rail-borne tourists spent more time by the sea, the whole community became known by the name Seahouses.
