The Northumberland Coast Path follows this stunningly beautiful coastline for 100 kilometres (60 Miles) from Cresswell in the south to Berwick-upon-Tweed in the north. Alongside sandy beaches, over rocky headlands, past dramatic castles and through attractive coastal villages, the Northumberland Coast Path offers a constantly changing landscape which is a pleasure to explore.

We’d been to High Force some years ago, so this time we headed to Low Force. We parked at Bowlees Visitor Centre. Parking there is pay and display and the ticket machine issues a ticket on receipt of your donation. There is a suggested donation depending how long you wish to stay. There is a small amount of free parking in a lay by on the road. From the car park you can walk across past the visitor centre and over the road, cross a field and through a small wooded area to see Low Force. You can cross a suspension bridge and walk to High Force, but we didn’t. We returned to the car park and from there found our way to Summerhill Force and Gibson’s Cave. It is a bit of a climb on some quite deep steps but well worth the effort.

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

We did a couple of walks along the River Wear , one around the peninsula and the other fro Green Lane past the University Sports grounds. Both were downloadable and easy to follow. Autumn colours were spectacular and birdlife and ducks in abundance. Well worthwhile.

This place is a hidden gem. After trying to stop and visit a few places along the wall which were very busy and overpriced car parking, we found this site. There is plenty of well spaced car parking, which gives the area a less crowded feel, with picnic tables planted around the area. Car parking prices were very reasonable here. There is a small shop where coffees, drinks and snacks. Very friendly staff show enthusiasm for the area. Shout out to Karen, whom we spent time chatting to. Hadrian's wall and crag is a short walk away, providing stunning views of the landscape and there is also a small lake. This place is definitely worth a stop whether is maybe long or short.

We had a big lunch in Rothbury and we were recommended this walk as an aid to digestion! Absolutely stunning walk in both directions and very safe too. We headed out of Rothbury first towards Thropton along the river and then across a field on a public footpath. I would say in total a one hour walk as a round trip. Very enjoyable on a sunny day!

The bridge was built to carry a railway track. Engineered by W G Laws , W E Jackson & Co. of Newcastle upon Tyne built the bridge's foundations and masonry, and Hawks, Crawshay and Sons of Gateshead manufactured the ironwork. The bridge was opened to rail traffic on 6 October 1876.

Accessible from Wylam by walking the old railway or from the south bank of the Tyne, a shorter walk but less parking. This old railway bridge is in excellent condition and provides a wonderful peaceful crossing of the river with plenty of opportunity to view wildlife, the walk ends as the old railway joined the present line at a juncion just off the bridge. The structure is itself Grade 2 being an early rib arch design and is pleasing to the eye.
