This was the third time Trojan and Louie had visited the beach and they still weren't keen on the see...we only managed to coax them in to get there feet wet and as soon as a wave came that was it...they were gone!!!
however when we got a bit further up the beach and we found some rock pools in a small inlet Trojan was in his element. Without the threat of the waves and moving water he enjoyed exploring, jumping from rock to rock, enjoying all the different smells and even going in the deeper pools!!
The beaches were lovely and clean and dog friendly with lots of other dogs for Louie and Tro to meet and greet. This wasn't far from Alnwick at about 4 miles and the closest beach to us. It was a shame that it was so far away and the access to it was via a road which often did not have pavements so I had to wait until Hubby was about to drive me. Certainly well worth the wait though and the dogs had a whale of a time!!
It's a lovely area. We've stayed in Howick and Alnmouth at different times. Great beaches for walking the dogs. Glad you all enjoyed the break away. I would love to go back there sometime.
ReplyDeleteI really loved the beaches and walks that were around and about.
DeleteI need a day at the beach. Trojan does look like he's enjoying it
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I could do with another day at the beach too Ann!!
DeleteWe went to Northumberland on holiday last year, it's a lovely area. Archie does go in the sea but isn't all that keen on the waves but like Trojan, he loves rock pools.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful area...the hubby was sick of hills by the time we were coming home though...lol
DeleteGlad you and dogs had a good time.
