Northumberland Coast Path

This epic long distance walk runs along the Northumberland coast from Cresswell to Berwick Upon Tweed.
It's an amazing section of England's coastline with a series of dramatic castles, beautiful beaches and a huge variety of sea birds to look out for on the way.
The 63 mile route runs north from Cresswell to Druridge Bay Country Park and then on to Amble and Warkworth where you pick up St Oswald's Way.
You continue to Craster and Alnmouth, Seahouses, Dunstanburgh Castle and Bamburgh Castle. 
You then head inland to Belford and the Kyloe Hills, where you pick up the St Cuthbert's Way and visit the mysterious St Cuthberts Cave.
The route then returns to the coast where you pass the historic Lindisfarne Castle and Holy Island before following the River Tweed into Berwick near the border with Scotland.
