Known for
The UK's first offshore wind farm, the beach, the port, and a Northumberland coastal town with industrial heritage and sea views
A little history
Blyth grew as a coal exporting port. The construction of the world's first offshore wind farm here in 2000 marked a symbolic industrial transition from coal to renewables.
Blyth beach is genuinely good — wide, sandy and rarely crowded. The offshore wind farm is striking on the horizon. The Links golf course.
