Walks with the Wife
Coastal and Country Walks in the North East of England
Currently guided by Jon Tait’s ‘Northumberland – 40 Coast and Country Walks’, my wife and I intend to tackle 20 routes this year in a bid to fully explore the area we’ve decided to make home.

Carriage Drive Trail
With a capable companion in my friend Shaun, we set off on one of the more challenging walks – Carriage Drive.
Dunstanburgh Castle Trail
In a rare child-free week, we decided to tackle one of the more distant and dangerous walks on the list: Dunstanburgh Castle.
Warkworth Castle
We needed a short walk for Rachael. It just so happens that Warkworth Castle is one of the shortest routes in our guidebook!
Plessey Woods
One of the shortest walks in the guide book was just over 2km at Plessey Woods – perfect for the heavily pregnant wife.
Sycamore Gap
With what may just have been the final sunshine of 2020, a hike to the famed Sycamore Gap was in order.
