This section of the England Coast Path begins at the Newbiggin Maritime Centre and then follows the promenade to the Needles Eye. After this the path continues to hug the coast where care needs to be taken as there is erosion here. The walk ends at North Blyth, an industrial area which includes the dock and mouth of the River Blyth if you wish to explore further.

This one way walk is part of the English Coast Path. It is an easy walk around River Blyth however does include a strech across fields and along the north bank of the River Blyth which can be muddy. The walk ends in Blyth where the walk can be extended to the beach rather than finishing on the Quayside.

From Cresswell, the England Coast path continues to wind its way across the dunes but for much of the walk you will see the Newbiggin Power Station up ahead, the first suggestion of the North East's industrial heritage. The walk finishes at the Newbiggin Maritime Centre which provides information on the maritime history of the area. This is a walk of contrasts.

This section of the English Coast Path begins at the Quayside which hosted the Tall Ships in 2016, then continues through Ridley Park to the beach with its colourful beach huts, and then follows the Eve Black Way through the dunes to Seaton Sluice.

Follow the "The Christian crossroads of the British Isles" from Seaton Sluice to Chester-le-Street and explore the heritage along the way. This route can be divided into sections in regard to your physical abilities.

This path is part of the Angel's Way, one of the Northern Saints' pilgrimage routes which starts in Seaton Sluice and end in Chester-le-Street. This section passes Seaton Delaval Hall, the Church of Our Lady, and the Holywell which gives the village its name.

This section of the England Coast Path is deliberately short so that a visit to Seaton Delaval Hall can be included as well as a visit to St Mary's Lighthouse (tides permitting). The route passes the villages of Seaton Sluice, Hartley and Old Hartley along cliff tops.

This walk along the dunes and golden sandy beach passes a number of nature reserves. There is an abundance of wildlife but also grazing animals along this stretch, it is nature at its best.
