Photos - Northumberland Coastal Path walk (1)

At the start of the walk we overnighted firstly at 'The Plough Inn' at Ellington, having got there from Newcastle by bus and taxi.  As we were setting out on the first leg of the first day, from Ellington to Cresswell, I took this photo of the pub:
 Being Northumberland and late Spring, the trees are still not 'leafed up'.

The end of our first day's walk was Warkworth.  I didn't take any more pictures along the way because it was a fairly overcast day with lots of light sea mist so not much in the way of sights until we got near Warkworth.  This picture is looking over the river estuary towards the town and the castle:





After checking into our B & B and cleaning up we went down into the town for a walk.  One of the things we saw was the old town bridge and gate at the Northern end of the town:



The bridge is no longer used for road traffic but you can walk over it.
