For my last walk while we were on holiday, I left Jude pottering around Alnwick and drove down to Alnmouth railway station, (where, most unusually, there’s free parking 👍) to do an out and back walk along a section of the England Coast Path. As you will see the weather wasn’t great, though it didn’t rain and there was a small incentive to get to Warkworth (other than the golf course – pic 16 in case you hadn’t guessed). 😋

I was equally puzzled and amused by the signpost in picture 11, indicating north and south, and I wondered how anyone walking the path would not know which way they were going when they got to that point. 🤔

    Maybe not the ideal weather but surely a nice walk. At least the sign in “11” lets you know where Nord an South is – LOL

      Yes, thanks Rudi. But, rather ironically, the sign was aligned due east-west! (Perhaps that’s why they had to indicate which way was south , and north!?)

          As a general rule, if you’re walking a coastal path, the maxim is “Just keep the sea on your right” (or left as the case may be!) 😀

  2. Lovely walk. Do you know what the kind of concrete blocks on the beach are?

      I’m not sure exactly why the blocks are there. They were about 3 feet or a metre cubed (and made of concrete as you say). My first thought was that they were left over from the war, to deter a sea landing (and now they are almost covered up), but when I did the post, I thought they may have been placed there as a sea defence to protect the dunes. 🤔
