This event will open for bookings on April 5th We are trialling delayed booking for all day walks in the Northeast and Yorkshire Region to reduce waiting lists and late cancellations. We know that a significant number of members who book places on our walks eventually decide not to attend the event. This causes long waiting lists and makes it harder for those who wish to attend an event to obtain a place. If you are interested in attending this event, please click the ‘bookmark’ button to add this page to your list of bookmarked events. This will make it easier for you to find the page when the event opens for bookings.
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.
