The route follows a map in a Northumberland National Park's leaflet. The route is waymarked, but with many marker posts collapsed, and…

Craster, Howick, Dunstanburgh Castle
Dunstanburgh castle was built to impress, it remains impressive. Easy route finding Craster to Howick and the coast path. The coast path gives much easier walking than the south west coastal path but with equally spectacular views.

Branton, Ingram and East Hill
A hill walk in Northumberland along the Breamish valley. The route included a stop at the National Park centre at Ingram for a coffee and more. In the centre's hall is a display of the valley's history from the Bronze Age to the present day. We walked route anti-clockwise, the…

Dry Doddington to Stubton Across the Mainline
Surprisingly good walking route with distant views. There are two crossing of the East Coast mainline. The first is a level footway, the line is straight at that point making safe crossing easy. The second crossing is a bridge over the line. The route crosses two fields.

Colsterworth, the Withams and Gunby
The May 2026 edition of Country Walking published the route, listing it as 8.5 miles. The big plus of this walk is the start from, and finish at, the National Trust's Woolsthorpe Manor. The going was difficult in places as fields were freshly tilled and sown. These cross field paths…

Amble from Dunston
A short walk organised by the Lincoln group of the Ramblers Association. The route passes through Dunston. The church has the tomb of Viscount Goderich, the third shortest serving Prime Minister. At 144 days it is still three times longer than Liz Truss!

Red Hill
Good walk on a bright day. The turn off from the Bluestone Heath road in marked on an Ordnance Survey map as a right of way, but is not recorded by the County Council.
The section of the Viking way from Sand Lane to Goulsby cemetery takes a meandering route…

RSPB Frampton Marsh
A walk around RSPB reserve at Frampton Marsh where skies don't come any bigger. The big window of the café at the visitor centre makes it possible to sit inside with a tea, or coffee, and birdwatch in comfort.
As tempting as it is don't stay in the café, do…

Gibralter Point
A bright day and an easy walk on the near empty beach. With a low tide much of the Norfolk side was visible. Not a fast walk with many stops to watch the birds and ships in The Wash

Winter Walk in Hartsholme Park
The Cool_Dudes wrapped up against the cold to take a walk in the park. The park's trees gave shelter from the east wind. This made for a calming walk in the grey January light. At the far end of the Swanholme reserve birdsong covered the distant urban noise of Tritton…
