From the beautiful village of Craster, the St. Oswald’s Way continues down the coast. It passes the site of Northumberland’s earliest Stone Age settlement at Howick. As you head towards Alnmouth, the beach can be used as an alternative to the path on the shore. The route passes around the Aln Estuary before using paths through the coastal dunes with splendid views of Amble and Coquet Island. St. Oswald’s Way then meets the River Coquet for the first time at the historic village of Warkworth.
