Geocache Description:

Part of a new series to be set along the coast of North Northumberland - an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty.

The Northumberland Coast AONB was designated in 1958 and covers 39 miles of coast from Berwick to the Coquet estuary. Within this stretch of coastline is some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in the country with a multitude of special features.

The area is best known for its sweeping sandy beaches, rolling dunes, high rocky cliffs and isolated islands. Amidst this striking landscape is the evidence of an area steeped in history, covering 7000 years of human activity. A host of conservation sites, including two National Nature Reserves, testify to the great variety of wildlife and habitats also found in the AONB.

The coast is home to numerous small communities that continue to face pressures as traditional industries decline in importance, tourism expands and development pressure intensifies.

This cache is located on the north side of Boulmer Village - you can park fairly near the cache or park at the designated car park beside the beach and have a longer walk. As always, check the tides, although this cache is located just off the beach. The cliffs, although only a very small drop, should be approached with care especially with kiddies.
There is often lambing and sheep near, even though the sheep are in fields and not beside the cache, care should be taken with the geohounds.

NOTE: Near edge - if you don't want to go near an edge don't do it! :)

Please feel free to add your own AONB caches to this series....

We have renumbered the caches 1-? to reflect a South to North walk if you are feeling energetic!
