Easington Colliery周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

This impressive modern sculpture, which the hiker encounters here, is a contemporary reminder of the suffering and horror of the First World War. When designing the memorial, the artist did not choose a glorious fighter and victor. Instead, he depicts a war-weary soldier, rifle in hand, who has slumped slightly and needs to rest.

I always love this coastal walk. I tend to park a bit further away in the 1st car park on top of the hill, when 1st coming into Seaham. Then walk all the way to Blast Beach. If no one knew either, Blast Beach was used/inspired in the film Alien 3. Due to the director being a Northern lad.

This coastal walk is well worth it. A beautiful walk with lots of contrast, costal paths, woodland trails and small secluded beaches. If you are very lucky you can see either dolphins or porpoises. Plenty of lovely places to eat and drink in Seaham. It’s a must to go and see the statue of Tommy the soldier.

Tommy is a statue of a First World War soldier by artist Ray Lonsdale, displayed close to Seaham war memorial, on Terrace Green by the seafront in Seaham, County Durham, in North East England. It is officially named 1101 (or Eleven-O-One), referring to the first minute of peace as the armistice came into force at 11am on 11 November 1918, but is more popularly known as Tommy, referring to the archetype private soldier Tommy Atkins.

Hurworth Burn Reservoir is a 21 acre lake built in 1867. It's surrounded by woodland and attracts a rich variety of wildlife.

Worth a visit just for the views but a bit difficult to access. Best access is from Leechmere Road. The track begins just before the houses and is signed for the Tunstall Hills park. One tip, once you've been there return the way you came. I tried to find a way down following some unmarked tracks and ended up having to cross a farmers field which is not ideal.

The Durham Heritage Coast is a 5.5mile section of coast path heading south from Seaham. It passes through stunning cliff top scenery and wild beaches. Some owned and managed by the National Trust.

Good views along the coast from the path
