I'll second that (Seahouses/ Amble). Must get out to the Farne islands some time. Do you need a hat? :-)
The white cattle of Chillington are worth going to see (honest!) but listen to the man. They're clones. Amazing. And the pub up the road after you've been there is ace. Great local food.
St Abbs (a bit far?) is a very nice walk if you're into that. Past the lighthouse. Some good coastal paths in general.
Embleton bay gives a classic (ie take the camera) view of Dunstanburgh Castle.
Alnmouth bay is beautiful. I stood there the first day in July a few years back. In one direction, about a mile off I could see a man walking a dog. In the other direction - nothing. I had the place to myself. Tip - don't go paddling. Not unless you want your feet preserving cryogenically.
Oh, and one last thing to look out for. If you go on the A1, past the Scottish border, just after the "Welcome to Scotland" sign there's a speed camera.
