A geowalk along Northumberland’s coastline between Spittal and Cocklawburn is to take place next week.

The 6km ‘Corals and Coal’ walk will be led by local geologist Dr Ian Kille and will explore the fascinating coastline.

The journey will include a sequence of rocks that provide an insight into what earth was like 350 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period – a time when plants and trees were a major presence on land.
