Self-guided Walking Holidays


The North Sea coast of Northumberland is a landscape of unspoilt sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, coastal castles and lively fishing settlements. Along this coast wild flowers grow in abundance on the sand dunes, wading birds comb the strand, and the dramatic ruins of coastal castles stand tall on the skyline. Inland the Cheviot Hills provide wild and windswept walking at its very best.

The Northumberland Coast is rich in history. Lindisfarne on Holy Island was one of the foremost ‘cradles of Christianity; there are mighty castles which date from mediaeval times at Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh; and in 1838 the mountainous seas off the nearby Farne Islands were the scene of Grace Darling’s heroic rescue of mariners in distress.

Guests on these tours will be able to enjoy several stretches of this wonderful coastline, the highlights being the beautiful villages of Craster, Low-Newton-by-the-Sea and Beadnell Bay; the rugged and dramatic cliffs of St Abbs Head and the dramatic views across the tidal sands to Lindisfarne. An exhilarating walk through the wild moorland and hill scenery of the Cheviots will add variety to the tour.
