The church dates from the 13th century and by the eighteenth century had become a ruin. The nave and chancel were restored in 1845, and a new chancel arch and organ chamber were built in 1898 by W.S. Hicks. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1912.

The church is noted for its dramatic headland site.

Amazing collection and very informative. £2.50 ticket. Well worth it.

The promenade at Newbiggin-By-The-Sea is a popular walking area, plenty people use the wide pathways. There are pockets of sand that has been blown onto the surfaces by winds coming from the sea. Dry sand is not the best surface to ride on but these were not long segments

Newbiggin Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

A fantastic example of a beach in the north east of England. Golden sands and freezing cold water.

Well worth a stop off to explore the beach, the promenade and the many shops and eateries. Swimming is at your own risk, but highly advised ;)
