Coast and Castles – Northumberland Guided Walks

£115.00

A 3 day walking holiday on the idyllic Northumberland Coast

Description

A 3 day holiday in June on the beautiful Northumberland Coast accompanied by a small group and local guide.

 

Although coastlines are never as flat as you imagine this makes for some of the easiest coastal walking. The mileage is not too great and and it is an opportunity to explore the history and beauty of the area with a local expert.

 

Details of the 3 walk days are below:

Tuesday:  8/10 miles. Lindisfarne (Holy Island).

Park at the causeway entrance and follow the Pilgrim’s Way to Lindisfarne where we can have a coffee and lunch. From there walk round the island visiting the old abbey and castle before returning along the sands to the car. Visit Bamburgh and its world famous castle on the return.

Thursday: 10 miles. Craster to Beadnell.

A day spent on beaches and coastal paths. From the fishing village of Craster (famous for its kippers) walk north past Dunstanburgh Castle and the wide sweeping bay of sands at Embleton. From here it is a short hop to the intrigueing village of Newton by the Sea before completing the day with another beach at Beadnell. We will arrange for a lift back to your car in Craster.

Wednesday: 7 miles. Alnwick to Alnmouth Circular.

A half day walk. From Alnwick head along the River Aln to Foxton and Boulmer on the coast. Return along the sands to the pretty village of Alnmouth. We will arrange for a lift back to Alnmouth in good time for a visit to Alnwick Castle and Gardens.

Jonathan lives near Alnwick and is an experienced walking guide with a good knowledge of the area and its history.

 

The market town of Alnwick is the best base for the walks with its many pubs, restaurants and other amenities.

However if you would rather stay on the coast Alnmouth, Embleton, Beadnell and Bamburgh are beautiful villages with hotels and pubs.

Please contact us if you would like any other advice or are struggling to find suitable accommodation.
