A lovely coastal walk taking in both beach and countryside. High tide is 08:33 and low tide 14:55 so the walk will start out along the sand dunes and the beach below Bamburgh Castle, then up to the cliff path to Budle Bay, which is flocked by seabirds when the tide is out. From there along county roads and field paths with views across to the castle. There are a number of stiles to negotiate.
