Northumberland Trip - Day 2

We left Bamburgh and drove south towards Amble. Just before there we parked in the car park at Warkworth beach, and went for a walk.

First along the beach towards the Coquet estuary, than back inland beside salt flats.

We then drove to the car park at Amble Yacht Club, and walked to the harbour. It's quite a touristy area with lots of stalls and cafes.

We walked round the harbour area, there's a bit where you can walk round a pier which shelters a beach.

We then walked a long way down the beach. To start with it was quite rocky, but further down it was nice and sandy. Oscar was very good off-lead, no problem walking past all the families with dogs, picnics etc.

There were views out to Coquet island.

We headed inland, into Druridge Bay Country Park, which is a big park with two large lakes. We walked round one of the lakes then out the gate on the other side.

We caught the bus back to Amble, then walked through the town back to the van.

Later we went out for fish and chips. We had planned to go to the Masons Arms pub, but it was closed for some reason. The nearby Blue Bell was very much a locals' place with no decent beer, but the people were friendly.

The cod and chips from Gills Fish Bar was pretty good, we took it back to the van and had it there.
