William Russell Flint wrote, "No sands are more beautiful than those between Bamburgh and Seahouses on the Northumbrian coast. Other beaches may be whiter, richer in colour or more often sunlit, but for sheer subtle beauty Bamburgh sands must be hard to beat. When being flown over them on 5th April 1918, they looked so lovely and I vowed, once I was out of uniform, to spend a summer painting them." He returned in late spring of 1919 and painted some stunning watercolours of Bamburgh Beach and Holy Island.
