A gentle walk from Howick to Newton-by-the-Sea via the coast path passing Dunstanburgh Castle returning inland via Embleton, Dunstan Square, Craster Heughsand through Howick Hall Gardens down to Red Steads Beach then back to cp
Good paths (muddy on some of the Inland section). Awesome views & fantastic history.Total ascent 900ft.
David has negotiated free access to Howick Hall Gardens so we can finish our day by walking through the gardens to the sea instead of using the road. The gardens are a real treat - their website is well worth a look (howickhallgardens.com)

Seasonal Drinks afterwards at Alnwick Brewery Tap (alnwickbrewery.co.uk/tap) Sunrise 08:25 Sunset 15:37 Please bring torches but plan to be finished before dark. A reasonable pace will be maintained on the walk to make sure we get back with enough light to fully enjoy the flora, fauna and magic of Howick Hall Gardens Dogs Welcome - must be kept on leads in Howick Hall Gardens Toilets en route at Long Newton (after 6 miles)
