Cambois is on the south east Northumberland coastline with a truly magnificent beach. But while visitors flock to the village for the unspoilt coastline, many are unaware of how to pronounce its name.
I felt like this would be an intriguing place to investigate as I knew almost nothing about it, and I wanted to find out how it got its very French sounding name. I was warned before my arrival to say Cambois as 'Cam-es' to avoid any embarrassment.
But there must be dozens of different ways people have pronounced Cambois over the years, so I decided to stop by and see for myself. It was a brisk winter's morning when I parked up next to Charlton's Bar and Restaurant and was instantly drawn to the main attraction - the beautiful sandy beach.
