It is the center of one of the country's largest coal-mining areas and is a large port. Coal, wool, iron and steel, and wheat are exported. and Gateshead, it's Andrew Dixon's job to encourage people into Tyneside. But even he needs to get away from his city home from time to time, and head for the quieter surroundings of his Northumberland holiday cottage A Holiday Cottage is a type of vacation accommodation which has become common in the United Kingdom and Canada. They are typically small homes that vacationers can rent and run as if it were their own home for the duration of their stay. . Mr Dixon bought the home, in a converted warehouse in Seahouses, three years ago. The acting chief executive of the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative said: "The area of Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell is one of the most popular areas of the coast to visit. "Seahouses has the advantage of good restaurants and it's a gateway to the Farne Islands The Farne Islands (also referred to less formally as the Farnes) are a group of islands off the coast of Northumberland, England. There are between 15 to 20 or more islands depending on the state of the tide.[1] They are scattered about 2.5–7. , which is why I decided to buy there. I get there for two weeks a year, and the occasional weekend. "The rest of the time, I let it out. It's fully booked this year from February through to October. It's a fast growing tourism market, and Alnwick Garden has probably had the biggest impact on tourism in the area." He said the people buying second homes in New-castle should let them out when they are not present. |
