A coastal walking route in the North East which takes you to a "pretty little hamlet" has been revealed among the best late summer strolls to embark on in the UK.

The Independent shared that the Bamburgh Castle to Waren Mill walk in Northumberland includes a pub pit stop along the way, at a hotel that’s more than 850 years old.

The publisher commented on one of its latest outdoor guides: “The UK is blessed with more than 140,000 miles of footpaths, bridleways and byways, meaning that you’re never very far from a wonderful walk through our green and pleasant land.

“A ramble is a fine thing in itself, providing untold health benefits for both body and mind. But many would argue that a really good walk requires a good pub at the end of it. What could be better than a garden bench, a good meal and a stiff drink after a lengthy stroll through the countryside?"

@dogfriendlydestinations While the UK is covered in grey clouds at the moment, next weekend is set to be a sunny one. If you’re looking for a fun day out with your dog, Bamburgh Castle Beach is one of our favourite places to head. The Norman castle stands tall above a pristine sandy beach and clear waters. Hands up if you thought the first clip was somewhere a little more exotic than Northumberland?! 🙋‍♀️😁 #northumberland #bamburghcastle #dogwalking #ukbeach #dogfriendly #beautifuldestinations #ukstaycation ♬ Everybody Wants To Rule The World X Electric Love - darcy stokes

“You can then return the way you came, or cut inland, passing the Grace Darling Museum as you head back into Bamburgh.

“Stop in at the Lord Crewe before heading for home – it’s been providing bed and board to weary travellers for more than 850 years.”

The Lord Crewe has an impressive rating of 4/5 on Tripadvisor, thanks to its visitors.

One reviewer shared: "We had a beautiful evening meal with our dog. The food and service were outstanding. The staff very polite, friendly and attentive. If you love fish you will be in for a treat. Monkfish scampi was awesome and the halibut was perfect. Can’t wait to go back."
