Once home to Craster Tower\, a 15th-century fortress\, the village has a long-standing maritime and fishing tradition. \nOur route will lead us towards Howick Bathing House. Two centuries ago this impressive house was the seaside retreat of British Prime Minister Charles Grey. Yes\, the founder of Earl Grey tea! \n\nWhy This Matters\nWe believe that time outdoors is time well spent. This hike offers a chance to reconnect with nature\, put away your phone\, and enjoy a refreshing few hours in the open air. Our events are designed to be more than just physical activities – they’re an opportunity to foster connection with new friends\, clear the mind\, and support a good local cause. \n20% of ticket sales will be donated to the Newcastle Cat and Dog Shelter\, supporting their mission to rescue and rehome animals in need.
