Newton by the Sea to Craster Circular Walk.

Classic walk on the stunning North East Coast in this Area of Natural Beauty (AONB).  9.5 mile trek from Newton by the Sea along the beach passing Embleton and Dunstanburgh Castle before reaching Craster.

Newton by the Sea to Craster

Leave the car park at High Newton and head down to Low Newton and
you will experience the stunning view of Newton and Embelton with Dunstanburgh Castle in the back ground a mouth-watering taster for the walk ahead.

Walk along the beach until you need to climb the dunes and head
along to Dunstanbugh Castle, once you have taken in the grandeur of the castle, walk along the open grassed land to reach our destination of Craster.  There are many fine eating options.

 

Craster to Newton by the Sea

Leave Craster and climb the road slightly and there is a wooden
sign on the right, climb the hill and follow the trail until you are walking
along the along the upper path.  Follow the map and video taking in the fine scenery.  Once you have pulled back from the coast and walk inland to the farm buildings, bear right and follow the hard path.  You will come to a  cluster of houses; once you meet the road turn right and head back towards the sea.  At the gate bear sharp left and follow the path along the side of Embelton golf course.

 

Once back to the dunes take the path along behind the dunes, you
will eventually come to small lake with a couple of hides, at the right time of
year there are an abundance of birds to watch.  We are nearing the end of the walk as you will come to Low Newton, I can thoroughly recommend a visit to The Ship if time permits.  A gentle walk up the road and a final look
back across the bay awaits before heading back to the car after a thoroughly
satisfying days outing.

 

Enjoy a great walk on the North East Coast
