Photography – St Oswald’s Way – Northumberland – gorgeous countryside, castles and seascapes. A deserted wonderland.
These are a few photos from my photo diary of my 100 mile walk. We were following St Oswald’s Way backwards.
St Oswald led an army to do battle in Heaven’s Field. If they felt anything like me they would not have been up to doing much fighting. I dropped out two thirds through the fifth day with a thigh strain (It still hurts!).
The walk led us through some spectacular scenery, up on to moorland, along rivers, past castles, old churches, hills, towns, beautiful bays, cliffs, and past all manner of wild-life. Northumberland is a gem of a county and largely deserted. Huge sweeping sandy beaches with just a lonely couple for company. The castles on the shore, the old towns of hewn rock, and the green landscape.
Not only that but the locals were friendly and the ale tasty. What more could you want?
They are amazing. Love the bright colours.
Thank you. It was a beautiful walk – though it nearly killed me!
oh. Hope you are not hurt. Take care.
No – it was just too many miles and my legs gave out!
ok. Hope your legs are good now. 🙂
They are fine. Walking up and down hills over twenty miles a day for five days was a little too much for my ageing body! But I enjoyed it!
Sounds interesting. I like being in hilly regions. 👌 Cool
It was a lovely walk. I thoroughly recommend it – though maybe at a slightly slower pace!
I wish I would have lived in the hilly region for this walk. 🙂
You can always come and stay. There’s plenty B&Bs.
yes. 🙂😁
Enjoy!!
Was there in the Spring. It’s a stunning place. The colours in your photos are wonderful.
It is stunning. When my legs gave out on the last day of the five day walk we went across to the Farne Island which were amazing!
