Cracking little piece of track to push the heart and lungs, just be aware of pedestrians and dog walkers

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.

A lovely traffic free off road ride. Great views and lots of history too.

stunning memorial

Always a prominent statue, no matter now many times you have seen it.

Great spot opposite the main shops/cafes along the promenade. The statue always looks great, especially when decorated during the remembrance period. The car park is always busy.

A trip to Seaham is an excellent choice. The costal path is a mixture between costal and woodland. Most of the path is very accessible. The hardest part would be where the viaduct is, with a steepish descent and equally steep incline. There are access paths to numerous small coves. I would suggest taking binoculars If you are lucky you will spot either dolphins or porpoises. Seaham town is also pleasant with plenty of choice for eating either in or out. A wander around the harbour with its small artisan shops and cafes is also well worth. Altogether a lovely day out.
