Druridge Bay
Highlight (Segment) • Natural
A bit of history... In the 19th century coal was mined nearby, and during World War II Druridge Bay was considered as a possible landing place for a German invasion. You can still see the anti-tank blocks and pill boxes along it.
Towards the northern end you'll find Druridge Bay Country Park, with a visitor centre and café, but also lakes and a series of smaller nature reserves, which are home to everything from swans to rare birds like the Golden Eye Snipe. Ooo err!
Well worth a run or walk along this beach at any time of the year. It's kind of wild and awesome in winter!

Very muddy after rain, the end as you come to Cresswell ponds floods and you may have to wade to get to the road.

The small community reserve revolves around a pond that was formed within a former coal mining area, serving as its focal point.

Once the spoil tip for nearby coal mines, this area is now a nature reserve with a large artificial lake. It's a great place for a walk either as part of a longer loop or as a gentle stroll just around the lake. Popular with families and dog walkers.

Nice car free walk along a stream. The end bit might get a bit flooded - so either use wellies or take shoes off on a warmer day (beach isn’t too far anyway)
