While others look to Devon and Cornwall when dreaming of the seaside, I look to the opposite end of England. As a fully paid-up member of the North East Coastal Appreciation Society, I scratch my head and ask myself: who needs the South West when you can take in beaches that stretch to a vanishing point, magnificently battered castles and market towns and villages that have yet to prostrate themselves for the sake of the tourist shilling?

A Tynedale organisation is developing a new geolocated sound walk that incorporates several Hadrian’s Wall landmarks. Gilsland based Green Croft Arts have teamed up with several artists - all in some way linked to Northumberland and Cumbria - to create a series of songs, sounds, stories and spoken word pieces that will be triggered at different locations on the circular walk. The Collison and Conflict project takes advantage of the GPS-triggered ECHOES mobile app to guide users around the local area, with a total of 14 different activities planned for the route. Beginning at Waltown Country Park near Greenhead, the route is based around the Northumberland and Cumbria border and takes in several local tourist locations in the local area.
