Druridge Bay's 7-mile (11 km) stretch of pristine sandy coastline is an idyllic setting to cycle. With lakes, meadows, woods and a beach, the beautiful landscape is home to various wildlife. During the summer, windsurfing, canoeing and sailing is possible on the lake. You can find more information about visiting the park, here: druridgebay.co.uk

Warkworth Castle

Highlight • Castle

Lying atop a steep hilltop above the river Croquet, Warkworth Castle is an impressive fortress with towered walls that remain largely intact. Built in the 12th century, the castle had famous owners such as the Percy family who were one of the most powerful families in the North at the time. Their son 'Harry Hotspur' was a character in Henry IV by Shakespeare.

Today, you can visit the castle from 10am to 6pm daily. Tickets for adults cost £7.20. The castle also hosts various events such as medieval myths and legends. You can find more information, here: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/warkworth-castle-and-hermitage

Factory Bridge Over the River Coquet

Highlight • Bridge

This road bridge over the River Coquet is a Grade II listed structure built in 1865. It's known as Factory Bridge, possibly due to its close positioning to the former mill (now Dye House) located close to the south end of the bridge.

The Drift Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

I started my bike tour from the Drift Cafe and had scrambled eggs on toast and a vegetarian haggis roll to start the day (double breakfasts win), only 20m from the sands of Druridge Bay the cafe is ideal post coastal walk or during a cycle. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and can share great tips of the local area. There's loads of space to leave bikes too
