Includes an option to continue to Berwick-upon-Tweed on the final stage of the Northumberland Coast Path. The guidebook is crammed with interesting snippets of information, alongside indispensable practical details of transport and accommodation in the area. With varied scenery and a rich history encompassing spectacular castles, medieval abbeys and Roman remains, this is one of Britain’s most beautiful corners to explore on foot.
