Good to Know

Warkworth Beach is a wide, sweeping stretch of sand reached through the dunes from the village, running north from the mouth of the River Coquet towards Alnmouth.

Why it's on our list: it's quiet and expansive, even on busy days, with views back to Coquet Island and Amble, and it's a lovely walk for dogs.

Worth knowing: there's free parking and toilets at the dunes car park. Take care near the river mouth, where the currents are strong.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
