A Northumberland beach has been named one of the most beautiful in the world, beating off competition from Italy, Thailand, Hawaii and the Philippines.
Bamburgh Beach was named the sixth most eye-catching beach on the planet in a study by luxury travel company Kuoni, that tracked people's eye movements to see which natural landmarks the eye was drawn to.
While most people will know the beach because of the magnificent castle behind it, it's also wonderful for walks at any time of the year, and due to low levels of light pollution, it's a popular spot for aurora hunters on clear winter nights.
