The "Lady of the North" Northumberlina near Cramlington. Made from 1.5m tonnes of earth from Shotton surface mine. The largest land sculpture of a woman in the world. Face and mine behind. Looking to the coast from her nose.

From Newbiggin to Whitley Bay.
This is King Coal land. There are still nice beaches at Cambois, Blyth and Whitley Bay. I have visited but not walked this route. The book detours to Woodhorn and Ashington. I will visit a Lady.

From Warkworth to Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.
Through Amble and passed Coquet Island. Round the corner to the seven mile long Druridge Bay. Then, we went on to see "Couple" by Sean Henry.

From Craster to Warkworth.
It's more rocky than sandy for the first half. Then it opens up to the 5 1/2 mile long Alnmouth Bay. Ends with another Castle and a hermitage. Views in both directions near Iron Scars / Sugar Sands.

Approaching the causeway to Holy Island. The field dips, and the island disappeared behind the horizon.

Dunstanburgh Castle.

Just before Christmas 2015.
Bamburgh to Craster. This is the best part of the coastal walk. The harbour at Seahouses, Beadnell Lime Kilns and Bay. The Ship Inn Low Newton and Embleton Bay. Dunstanburgh Castle and Craster smoke house. The view from Craster harbour.

Bamburgh to Holy Island. The turning point is at Stag Rock. Probably connected to Saint Aidan (7th Century). Though nobody knows when it was first painted, it is repainted at the same time as the nearby lighthouse. See Alt+.

Bamburgh to Holy Island. 19 miles. A short walk north along the coast, then cut inland and rejoin the coast hours later at the causeway. Last look back at Bamburgh Castle.

The Pilgrim path follows the poles. Submerged in the evening - we are cut off for the night. It is hard to express how quiet and peaceful this was, with the only noise being the gentle lapping of water.

Looking across a blue bay with lines of protruding rocks towards a white pyramid daymark on the headland. This is a shipping mark built by Trinity between 1801 and 1810.
At the end of October 2019, we walked the last three sections of St Oswalds Way from Warkworth to Holy Island (47 miles in 3 days).
Staying overnight on the Island. The end point at Emmanuel Head, Lindisfarne, is a white pyramid daymark.
