Craster周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A large sandy bay where you can walk across the beach as an alternative to the coastal path through the dune.

For several centuries, the bridge at this point has allowed travelers to effortlessly cross the River Aln. Although the distance from source to mouth is only about 40 kilometers, the river lends its name to both the town of Alnwick and the castle perched on a hill. Symbolically, the bridge structure is guarded by an elegantly crafted stone lion, which also serves as the heraldic animal of the local noble Percy family.

This is such a great castle to go to. the views at the top on a clear day are brilliant. I normally walk the whole beach from Low Newton. My favourite coastline.

Craster in a small village in rural Northumberland. There were plenty of tourists and passers by sitting at many benches and what appears to be a pup or cafe. A nice place to visit in good weather

In the mid-13th century, Newton-by-the-Sea was part of the barony of Vesci, initially held by John Viscount for one knight's fee. Ownership passed through notable figures including Simon de Montfort and Edmund of Lancaster. By 1725, it became part of the Barony of Embleton and saw ownership by the Forster family, who built Newton Hall in the late 18th century for Joseph Forster. Low Newton, or Newton Seahouses, emerged in the early 19th century as a community for fishermen. The National Trust now manages some of these cottages, as well as the Coastguard Station, built around 1828. In the 19th century, Newton-by-the-Sea had around 250 residents. By 1895, it was a township of 1,211 acres with a population of 220. Today, the parish has about 135 dwellings, home to a mix of residents, holiday homeowners, and visitors. Many residents commute to nearby towns or Newcastle. The National Trust owns much of the coastal land and part of The Square at Low Newton.

A great place for a drink and meal overlooking the sea

Good pub the Fisherman's popular too but no shops unless you want smoked kippers. Coffee shop and visitor parking up the road.

Constructed in 1775 by John Adam, the Lion Bridge gracefully spans the River Aln in Alnwick. This stone bridge boasts four elegant arches, with a commanding focal point - the intricately crafted Percy Lion - gracing its center on the eastern side. The bridge's design is a castle-like aesthetic, harmonizing seamlessly with the presence of Alnwick Castle that stands sentinel nearby. Once a vital artery, the bridge bore the weight of the old Great North Road as it traversed the river Aln. This historic bridge has rightfully earned its Grade 1 Listing.
