Join us for our regular wider estate walks to discover more about the Delavals and their local interests. Take in delightful views across the landscape and find out more about the area's history.
- Booking essential
Explore the centuries of history in and around Seaton Sluice and the road towards Blyth on this circular trail. Seaton Delaval was granted to the Delaval family in the 11th century and the earliest record of a building here is a defensive 'tower'. Discover how for more than 900 years, the family has played its part in protecting the area from civil conflicts, wars against the French and attacks during the First and Second World Wars. Walk is approximately 5 miles/ around 3.5 miles, with regular stops along the way.
