Seaham Beaches

3/7/2021

A walk that we did a couple of weeks ago, while staying in Durham - the first time we've expored this remarkable coast. Our route was along beaches, promenade, roads and footpaths. This wasn’t the walk we had originally planned – we had intended a much shorter, circular route, starting off from the same place, but turning inland from the town centre. However, we decided to continue along the road to visit Blast Beach. The return trip, on a very hot, sunny afternoon did seem like a long trek along the road.
