Walking the North Sea Trail
The Northumberland Coast AONB offers some of the finest coastal walking in the country. From sandy beaches to rocky outcrops, interspersed with dramatic castles and quaint coastal villages, it is a constantly changing landscape.

The Northumberland Coast Path, part of the North Sea Trail, is a 103 kilometre (64 mile) continuous coastal walking route between Cresswell in the south and Berwick-upon-Tweed in the north. |

The route mainly follows rights of way (footpaths and bridleways) but in some places follows beaches, minor roads, tracks and permissive paths. The route is fairly level with very few steep climbs and the surface is generally firm although some sections can become muddy in winter or after heavy rain. Most of the step over stiles along the route have now been replaced with gates to improve accessibility. |
