More than a Weekend Trip – Northumberland Coast
Tuesday 8th - Sunday 13th July 2025

You are invited to join us for this 5-night adventure to the stunning Northumberland coast, where we will be based near Seahouses (opposite the Farne Islands). We will have four and a half days walking, of which three will be coastal walks between Holy Island and Amble. We will be walking the pilgrim route across the sands to Holy Island (Lindisfarne) at low water. On another day we travel inland to the edge of the Cheviots to ascend Yeavering Bell, one of the biggest Iron Age settlements in Britain with views north into Scotland.

The area is steeped in history, from Iron Age hill forts and sites of early Christianity to numerous castles and medieval architecture. The moorlands and coastal environments are the best (and probably the cleanest) in the UK and we expect see a lot of the wildlife of this area.

We will be staying at The Hides, where we have booked three adjacent units, each of which has an en-suite shower and outdoor seating / BBQ area to make the most of the long evenings. Our accommodation is dog-friendly, quiet, relaxed, and just a short stroll from Seahouses.

Cost: to include accommodation, group transport, and shared meals (4 dinners, 5 breakfasts) is approx. £220 (independents £170). Admission to castles, lunches etc. will be extra. Places are limited to 10 participants on a first come basis. Please pay your deposit of £150 into the HHMC a/c and email me to let me know you have paid. Early booking is recommended.
