Description

Cresswell Beach

MemoryWalk - MemoryWalk-2-Website

Cresswell beach is part of Druridge Bay, which extends from Cresswell Village, at the South end, all the way up to Amble.  It is the longest stretch of beach in Northumberland.  It is also one of the best.

This walk is an ideal opportunity to get extra tuition on technique and really feel the benefits of Nordic Walking.

Druridge Bay Country Park

Half way through the walk we reach Druridge Bay Country Park.  There are toilets and a café here, if anyone needs to use the facilities.  We will take a short break here and look at the lake before returning the way we came along the beach.

The Drift Café

As is tradition, we end with a trip to a tea shop.  This one is one of our favourites, The Drift Cafe.

If the weather is good you can sit outside on the wooden seating and maybe even see some rare birds.

Hope to see you there,

Julie and Martin
