Seaton Sluice to Holywell - Angel's Way
Departure from Seaton Valley (Northumberland)
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.
England Coast Path - Seaton Sluice to St Mary's Lighthouse
Departure from Seaton Valley (Northumberland)
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.
England Coast Path - St Mary's Lighthouse to Tynemouth Priory
Departure from North Tyneside (England)
This section of the England Coast Path starts at St Mary's Lighthouse and follows the coast through Whitley Bay and Cullercoats finishing at Tynemouth Priory. The walk itself follows the cliff tops for some time and then the promenade. However for those requiring pavements, the first part of the walk can follow the road rather than the cliff tops. This walk can be done in either direction as a section of the England Coast Path (or as an out and back).
Holywell to Backworth - Angel's Way
Departure from Seaton Valley (Northumberland)
This is the section of the Angel's Way one of the Northern Saints' pilgrimage routes which starts in Holywell and ends in Backworth. This section is rural passing through agricultural land.
This can be combined with the previous section (Seaton Sluice to Holywell) or the next section (Backworth to Killingworth) for a longer walk.
England Coast Path - Blyth Harbour to Seaton Sluice
Departure from Blyth (Northumberland)
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.
Backworth to Killingworth - Angel's Way
Departure from North Tyneside (England)
This is a section of the Angel's Way. It starts in Backworth and follows a rural route passing the ruins of Burradon Tower. After that, it passes through Burradon, Camperdown and Killingworth finishing at the picturesque Killingworth Lake.

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.
