Boulmer sun shadow

Boulmer just off the beach.
Very much a traditional Northumbrian fishing village, Boulmer was once the haunt of smugglers.
During the 18th and 19th centuries the village was the smuggling capital of Northumberland.
Now however, this peaceful village consists of a row of cottages, one pub and a few fishing cobles.
The name Boulmer, pronounced 'Boomer', is a derivation of Bulemer, from the old English bulan-mere (bulls mere).
Boulmer has changed little in over 100 years and is one of the few true fishing villages left on the Northumberland Coast.
The major change was the arrival of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.
Set within a natural haven, in a gap through an almost complete band of rock, Boulmer has no harbour.
