Lighthouse to Lighthouse
14 people attending
1 place left
This is an eight mile route that starts at a lighthouse at the mouth of the Tyne and takes in a very cool pub in a cave with great views.
Continuing southward along the rocky coastline by smuggler coves to end at a lighthouse in a coastal national park with another stunning view of what can only be described as Jurassic.
This is a mainly linear route but the views both ways are very different.
