Bells of Hemscott is a seaside site set on a working farm on the Northumberland Coast, England. The property is in a large meadow overlooking a large pond filled with wildlife, resident swans and other birdlife. It’s within walking distance from a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach at Druridge Bay and is surrounded by castles, country houses, museums and heaps of walking and cycling trails. There’s a café and an ice cream shop about a mile from the site, and the market towns of Amble, Alnwick and Morpeth are all a short drive or bus ride away.
