Continuing south we head towards Beadnell and arrive at Limekilns and the Harbour (Video 14:10, the only harbour on the east coast to face west. Dropping down onto the beach we can follow the route through the dunes or trek along the beach for a while.
We now have a nice stroll into Bamburgh and the conclusion of the first stage, and the anticipation of what lies ahead in stage two. We come to a bridge over a small estuary of Long Nanny (Video 17:30), and continue through the dunes of Newton Links before reaching Football Hole (Video 18:20). Continuing along the headland we are welcomed by one of the most iconic views across the NE coast from Low Newton by the Sea towards Dunstanburgh Castle (Video 19:55). Refreshments are always available at The Ship in Low Newton, be careful you may never leave.
Our next section takes us through the dunes, passing the Low Newton Nature Reserve (Video 21:50). Continuing through the dunes we pass several huts on our way, with some stunning views, before passing Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club, watch out for flying balls. Leaving Embleton Bay we have some great views of Dunstanburgh Castle, which has a long history (Video 24:35).
The conclusion of our walk at the harbour of Craster is in sight now (Video 25:25). This walk will leave you with so many amazing memories. I just wanted to turn around and walk the route again. This just fuels us with anticipation for what lies ahead on stage 3 of St Oswald’s Way
