We are the Ponteland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A scenic coastal walk along dune and beach path from the fishing harbour – offering fantastic views of the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle. Walk up and turn left towards Greenhill Farm, back along fields and tracks crossing Ingram Burn past Saddershall, toward the hamlet of Shoreston passing Shoreston Hall. Walking across fields back towards Seahouses along the old railway line and past the Seaview Caravan site.
No tricky terrain, rocks are not challenging and other than the ups and downs on the dunes, all mainly flat. 4 stiles, and 4 gates Depending on the tide can walk on the sand or stay up on the dunes. Walking past Monks House and on towards Shoreston Rocks, Greenhill Rocks onto the dunes towards Bamburgh Castle
Refreshments – Stop for coffee/lunch at what was the Bowl Hole Cemetery 300m to the south of the castle – now a lovely wetland setting with great views and sheltered. The Swallow Fish shop down towards the harbour is worth a visit as too is The Ship Inn.
