Northumberland Coastal Walk


This will be the second time this year we have walked the Northumberland Coast from Craster to Low Newton. We walked it in February but because John was ill then and unable to do it we decided as it was such a good walk to do it again for his benefit. Only 4 of us present as the rest are overseas in warmer climates. Perhaps they won't be that much warmer than us as we could not have got a better day for the walk and we all had to reduce the layers of our clothing during the afternoon.
Dunstanbury Castle

This formation is called The Greymare Rock and was formed by volcanic pressure that folded the limestone.

Embleton Bay and a wonderful 3 mile walk along the beach. It was the English school holidays and therefore quite busy with walkers and even children building sand castles. 

Mid morning and time for a pint or a cup of coffee outside The Ship Inn at Low Newton

Two old pharmacists and as Ken will tell you old pharmacists don't die they just take A POWDER.

Low tide at Craster Harbour
We finished our walk with a lovely fish lunch at The Jolly Fisherman Inn. The food was excellent although a wee bit overpriced.
