The coastline of Northumberland stretches from the suburbs of Newcastle to the border with Scotland at Berwick-upon-Tweed – a popular holiday destination for its wild and extensive landscape, featuring endless sandy beaches, a succession of impressive castles such as Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh, as well as welcoming spots like Alnmouth and unique marine attractions like Holy Island and the Farne Islands.

The new Route Guide by Roland Tarr maps the path for walkers along the entire coastline, starting from the center of Newcastle and including an extension beyond Berwick to the sea-bird cliffs at St Abb’s Head. Along the way, the guide covers the remarkable industrial heritage of this coastline – the coal mining town of Ashington, which gave life to the Ashington Group of Pitmen Painters and the Charlton brothers – as well as the wonderful wildlife, with seals and puffins along the coast.

From a beautiful town in Tyneside to a distinguished town on the border along the River Tweed, this is an exceptionally refreshing country for hiking for the steadily increasing number of tourists discovering Northumberland each year.
