Ashington 최고의 라이딩 경로

Classic Northumberland road climb, even if it does have a descent in it. Ramp near the start in Elsdon is the hardest bit. Get lucky with a tailwind and fly down eastwards past Harwood Forest

Pretty bleak place to meet your end. If on the road, can also be pretty bleak with a rainy headwind ! Tailwind when eastward bound though is great

Glorious stretch of good tarmic after a steady climb

The early morning stopping train can get you to Hexham, Haltwhistle, Brampton or Carlisle and that's just a step away from the Lakes. A delightful gentle journey down to and along the Tyne then you drop down the other side to Carlisle.

lovely place to have a breather

Start of the Northumberland Coast Path

In 1935, Cresswell became connected to the mains water supply, marking a significant development in the community's access to water. Before this connection, villagers relied on a well as their water source. In 2019, residents took initiative to restore the well to operational status. Notably, the well is integrated into the boundary wall of the Pele tower, a structure classified as Grade II listed.

This pond was formed due to subsidence caused by the collapse of old mining works, resulting in a unique brackish water habitat that connects to the sea. This ecological feature makes it an ideal feeding ground for wading birds, particularly during the spring and autumn migrations when rare species are frequently spotted. Notably, avocets nested here in 2011, marking the northernmost location in the UK where they have done so. The pond also serves as a roosting spot for a substantial number of waterfowl, including greylag and pink-footed geese in small numbers.
