You are here > Home > Things to Do > Hawthorn - Connecting the Coast
Take a short stroll around the village or a longer ramble out to the coast and the stunning Hawthorn Dene viaduct. Stop at the village pub for refreshments.
The longer walks connect to the King Charles III England Coast Path. This path is being developed and will soon go all the way around the coast of England. The section in Durham is fully open and provides wonderful views of the cliffs, beaches and coastal wildlife. Catch a glimpse of the sea through the viaduct arches, smell the intense wild garlic in spring and enjoy the wildflower meadows in summer. The yellow route may be muddy in places. The red route has some steep slopes, steps and stiles and may be muddy. Take care on the coast, follow local signs and keep back from the cliff edge.
