Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at
Seahouses harbour car park
Parking
Pay-and-display at the harbour, about 40 spaces and the first to fill; larger seafront car park two minutes south
Directions to the start →

A three and a half mile easy circuit of about ninety minutes, north from the harbour along the sand to the old Monks House and back on the dune track behind North Sunderland. It begins at the harbour car park in Seahouses; parking is pay-and-display and the harbour end goes first, so the seafront car park is the reliable fallback. The sand is open to dogs all year with no council restriction, so this is an off-lead run out and back, though the return skirts fenced grazing and the harbour itself is busy with fish crates and vehicles.

Stay DOGS WELCOME

Beach House Hotel

NE68 7SR
No reviews yet

A seafront hotel at St Aidan's, looking straight out at the Farnes, and one of the few places on this coast to say plainly how many dog rooms it holds. Twenty of the bedrooms are designated dog-friendly, some with private garden space, so check availability rather than assuming. Dogs are asked to stay off the beds and furniture.
