Descripción

The Seaham Coast has four sections of coastal scenery. The first section has a long beach with a sea wall where you will see Éider común, Gaviota Reidora and Charrán Común. The second section is urban along cliff tops and downhill into the working Seaham Harbour where there is a variety of gulls, Gaviota Tridáctila, Vuelvepiedras Común, Archibebe Común and Ostrero Euroasiático. The third section is along blast beach where industrial waste was dumped from old coastal coal mines and the film Alien 3 was filmed here. On this beach area there are Fulmar Boreal, Pardillo Común, Alondra Común, Cernícalo vulgar, Escribano Palustre and a variety of finches The fourth section was a coastal dene at Hawthorn Dene with Negrón común, Alcatraz Atlántico and gulls to be observed. Parts of the walk are managed by the National Trust. The coastal railway is found to the south of Seaham Harbour. Be aware there are cliffs and you need to stay on the footpaths that are clearly marked.

Información extra

This is a walk along a coastal footpath with a large variety of birds both marine and inland species. I would suggest using an O S map and follow marked paths. Some sections have a choice between between cliff walks and beach walks. The walk distance is 12 km but can be walked in shorter sections. On the walk there are beach sculptures and a railway arch across the dene on Hawthorn Beach. You will pass metal sculptures on walk remembering coal mining and the World Wars. The Gaviota Tridáctila nest on the coast cliff walls and on old industrial workings by the marina and working harbour.
