A 3 day walking holiday on the idyllic Northumberland Coast
Walk the stunning Northumberland Coast from Alnmouth to Berwick over 4 days.
Accompanied by a local walking guide and a small group.
The Northumberland Coast has the most dramatic and interesting coastline in England. The beaches are glorious (long sweeping expanses of golden sands), the attractive fishing villages full of interest and interspersed with castles reflecting the long and fascinating history of Northumberland. It is also a wildlife heaven, particularly with regard to the variety of sea birds.
The Highlights Include
Most of the walking is along the English Coastal Path (a mix of sand,dunes and coastal paths) and is straightforward. On this holiday there is 4 days walking (from Alnmouth to Berwick) in the company of myself and a small group of fellow walkers (no more than 10).
Start at the historical village of Alnmouth on the Aln estuary. Walk north past Boulmer to the pretty fishing village of Craster, the home of Craster kippers. From Craster approach Dunstanburgh Castle before arriving at the wide sweeping Embleton Bay.
Stay Embleton.
A long day of glorious beach and coastal walking. From Embleton the walk passes Craster, Beadnell and Seahouses before passing Greenhill Rocks and enjoying the first views of Bamburgh Castle.
Stay Bamburgh
From Bamburgh follow the coast past Budle Point to Belford. From Belford head inland to Shiellow Woods and emerge in the hamlet of Fenwick. Continue along St Cuthbert’s Way across the sands of Lindisfarne and on to Holy Island.
Stay Holy Island.
Return over the Causeway from Holy Island on to the mainland. Pass Goswick Golf Course (the finest links course in England) and on to the vast, always deserted beach at Cheswick Sands. Finally approach Berwick and its imposing castle to complete the very best of the Northumberland Coast.
