March 11, 2025, Seaham Seafront & Hawthorn Dene Woods loop

Bit too much roadside walking for us, dog's don't like the traffic, lovely walk along the beach, the walk takes you on the edge of Hawthorn Dene. I would suggest parking at Nose's Point, if your not a fan of roadside walking and exploring the Dene further. 😊
