View of Dunstanburgh Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

The castle itself is located directly on the coast and not on the North Sea coast cycle path. Nevertheless, from this route you have a beautiful view of the castle ruins in the distance.

Craster Tower Gateway

Highlight • Cycleway

Craster Tower Gateway is an 18th century gateway and iconic entrance to the village of Craster.

The gateway once belonged to Craster Tower, which now serves as a luxury apartment.

The arch makes a wonderful photo opportunity and is positioned on NCN 1, a long distance cycling route along the east coast of Britain.

Long Heugh Limestone Escarpment

Highlight • Natural Monument

The towering rock faces and impressive cliffs along this part of the route are uniquely beautiful. Surrounded by green countryside, sheep graze in the meadows at the feet of the rocks. Bear in mind that the path here can become muddy after rain so you may need to push or lift your bike at times.

Rennington Village Green

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rennington is 'off the beaten track' and there is a short stretch of B-road to reach it (not busy!) The village green has a couple of benches and a lovely view across the attractive village green - ideal for a pause and a picnic.
