Reviewed By H7091ZNdavidd - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Northumberland is blessed with many beautiful beaches and this wide sandy bay is one of the best. Tucked away behind a golf course and with a view of Dunstanburgh castle this is an unspoilt and well kept secret perfect for dogs and the grandkids loved paddling in the sea.

Took to the beach from 6am to 6pm gorgeous and very long, plenty of room for everyone ! You’ll need to bring everything with you as there’s no shops anywhere here !

Great beach for kids with a gentle sloping sand towards the harbour, great walks along the beach all the way down to craster, brilliant place to spend your day ????

Built by the Roman Emporer Hadrian in AD 122, the remnants of this ancient wall stretches 73 miles from Wallsend-on-Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway.

Reviewed By rachelp822 - Grimsby, United Kingdom

A lovely walk along a well preserved section of Hadrians Wall. It is a bit up and down with some steep inclines and some sections with steps up. Gives great views across Northumberland

Cheviot Hills

Reviewed By Wez67 - Penistone, United Kingdom

Windy Gyle lived up to it’s name, pretty good walk not to challenging and decent views. The next day Hedgehope was 55mile/hr winds so that was really challenging. Didn’t want to stay long at the top holding onto the trig point. The next day the weather calmed and we did The Cheviot via the long walk up the valley, great views and I’d recommend the valley route which is Langleeford up to Cairn Hill then up onto the Cheviot itself????
