Spittal, a seaside village, located on the south side of the River Tweed, was formerly the centre of the herring industry. It then grew into a holiday resort in the early 19th century when visitors came to bathe in the sea and drink the waters from the Spa Well. Many new large stone houses and hotels were built and with the arrival of the railway, it became a popular holiday destination. Spittal has a long promenade giving wonderful sea views where dolphins can often be seen. It has one of the best sandy beaches in Northumberland.
