The beginning of the Northumberland Coastline
15 people attending
5 places left
The beginning of the Northumberland coast line starts at Cresswell Beach. This walk will start here and we will walk along the coast through Druridge Bay to Low Hauxley nature reserve where you can buy great cakes and snacks.
Then the route continues on to Amble Harbour Village which is just under the shadow of Warkworth Castle.
This walk is roughly 10 miles and mostly on the sand with some hard standing. There are some large sand dunes to traverse and there amazing views of Coquet Island nature reserve.
The route is a linear one and I have plans to sort a return trip by car back to Cresswell beach.

If the event is fully booked: please join the waiting list as people frequently drop out during the week before an event and you are likely to get a place on the walk.
