Windy walk on the Northumberland Coast

For todays little walk we thought we'd pop up to Low Newton by the Sea and walk south all along the coast till we got to Dunstanburgh Castle then turn around and head back...

As it was lunchtime we thought we'd pop into the Ship Inn at Low Newton and had a great Vegetible Soup and hot chocolate...

Once filled and inner bodies warmed it was on to the beach and follow the coast line towards the castle.  No snow or rain this time but the wind sure gave us something to work against.   In quite a short one hour we arrived at the castle then after a look up  the hill at the castle, take a few photos, we then headed back the way we came.    With the tide starting to come in and the beach slowly disappearing our return journey back to Low Newton was rather quicker as you can imagine,  once back a drink or 2 at the Ship Inn before heading home.
