About this event
This event with OutdoorLads offers a chance of an Autumn hike on one of Northumberland’s better routes. Starting off with a short walk to the harbour. From there to head onwards roughly four miles to Newton taking in some cracking views as walking up towards the castle. The first part of this route is through public access farmland so dogs will have to be on a lead for this part. As soon as the 14th Century castle ruins are reached we will head onto the beach and carry on past Embleton for a stop off at the dog friendly Ship Inn to warm up. Following on from this stop, after a short distance, a bird hide is reached for an opportunity to stop and eat a packed lunch. Continuing around a small estuary, which is usually teaming with bird life, over the top of some seriously high sand dunes. We will then see the back of the castle which is very photogenic or instagrammable if that’s even a word. Once past the castle Craster will be seen in the distance where we can warm up at the Jolly Fisherman pub or go and buy the famous Craster kippers. This walk is more or less bang on 8 miles, the terrain is a mix of sand, grass and hard standing and I would encourage car sharing as there is only one place to park and it’s not the cheapest. This is probably the most picturesque coastal walk in Northumberland and is highly recommended.
