Today’s walk was a small coastal walk of about 4 ½ miles.
I parked up on the coast road just before the turn off for Howick there is a couple of well used lay-bys. And basically followed the coastal route south down past the old bath house to Rumbling Kern, from there cut inland to Howick Hall ,if anyone is interested there is a small café /tea room at the main entrance .
Then followed the footpath past Hips Heugh, passing through Craster south farm down into the Arnold NWT reserve from there into Craster itself, as it was getting on for lunch time I decided to treat myself to jam & real cream scones with a well deserved cup of coffee, I did take a photo of my lunch (mob phone) and send it to my better half, because I know that she worries that I might not be eating properly. I am very good like that.
Any way after lunch I walked down to the harbour and rejoined the Coastal path, luck would have it that the path run through the pubs back garden, I felt obligated to stop and have a quick pint, again I sent my better half a photo of this pint, after all she was stuck at work and I am certain that she was concerned about me. (She wasn’t very nice with her reply)
From there I simply followed the path back to the start .
As per normal first photo taken from the car looking at the rugged coastline
Looking back (north)
Bit further along again looking back
Looking towards a “Rumbling Kern”
Same again
A couple of folk on the rocks, also the “cave”
Looking back towards the old bath house
Looking down the coast
Looking towards Hips Heugh
Pathway slightly overgrown
The footpath goes straight through this crop field.
Heading round the side of Hips Haugh
Looking back
Heading down towards the nature reserve.
Craster Harbour
Looking up the coast towards Dunstanburgh Castle
Same shot but showing a bit of the harbour
Looking down the coast
A few photos as I wander along
Taken at max zoom, looking towards the old ruined castle
A few more shots as I wander back along
Cullernose point and its nesting birds
A few more shots as I head back towards the car.
