Weekly walks all year round, highly regarded footpath maintenance work and a great way to make new friends – three good reasons to join Hexham Ramblers!

Enjoy a 'figure of eight' walk along the coast north and south of Craster.
Following the England Coast Path, we head north, past Dunstanburgh Castle to Dunstan Steads where we turn inland to Dunstan Square. We then walk south, returning to Craster on the footpath behind steep cliffs - The Heughs, a site listed as an Iron Age Enclosure.
The southern loop from Craster takes us through Arnold Memorial - a Northumberland Wildlife Trust site and former quarry - and across pasture to the gates of Howick Hall. We rejoin the coast near Rumbling Kern and return to Craster on the England Coast Path.
