Howick Burn to Craster

We are in Northumberland and staying in Craster, which is on the coast. The Northumberland Coastline in an AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty) and one of our plans is to walk part of the coastal path (aka St Oswald's Way).

We walk from Craster on a footpath heading inland via Craster South Farm and the outskirts of Howick Hall, the home of the Earls Grey (as in tea). From here it is down to Howick Burn, where it enters the North Sea, and a walk along the attractive route passing Sea Houses Farm and The Bathing House; this was built in the early 19th century by the 2nd Earl Grey who was the Prime Minister responsible for the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832. There are many more fine views as well back to Craster, including the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance.もっと詳しく
