Find a coastal walk

Explore miles of coastline at places such as Craster in Northumberland, where you can see the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle from the beach. Take in far-reaching views from the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim or look out across the Atlantic from Lizard Point in Cornwall, the most southerly place in Britain.
