If you’re down at Beadnell Harbour with your dogs, try the walk through the lime kilns to Ebb’s Nook?
We came across it en route from Beadnell Bay to Seahouses. We could see the rocks behind the kilns, so we went through the most gorgeous street of cottages to see where the path led. A few minutes later, we were standing at the Ebb’s Nook information board.
We could easily have walked straight past it, and we’re glad we didn’t.
We only had a quick look because we had a pretty packed day in front of us. We had to get to Seahouses and back and still make an early lunch at the Craster Arms. But we both said the same thing: next time, we’ll spend a bit of time here.
If you’ve booked pet-friendly accommodation in Beadnell, I’d imagine this would make a top early-morning walk.
We parked at Beadnell Bay, in the car park opposite The Landing, and walked along the beach to the harbour.
Once you reach the lime kilns, go through them and follow the lane through the cottages. It only takes a few minutes to get from the kilns to the part of Ebb’s Nook shown in our photos.
The lime kilns were built in 1798, and the board at Ebb’s Nook tells you a little about the area and its connection to St Ebba.
I like to stop and read everything, but the dogs were away. They never stop.
This isn’t a long walk like Beadnell Beach. You follow the path above the rocks and, when the tide is out, you can get down close to the water and all the rocks.
That suited us. I like beaches, but I prefer rocks and a walk where there’s a bit more going on. Here, the dogs could run along the path, head down towards the rocks and then come back to see where we were.
We’ve added this walk to our list of excellent dog walks in Beadnell. It’s short, but it’s a good’un.
Our two loved it because everything was new to them. They would disappear and then we’d spot them again. We let them off their leads once we were away from the cottages. The tide was well out. Both dogs are strong swimmers, but they didn’t even venture in.
We haven’t seen Ebb’s Nook at high tide, so we can’t tell you how much of the area below remains accessible. Check the tide before allowing your dog down onto the rocks.

You can continue around Ebb’s Nook until you reach the private properties and fence at the other end. From there, the path takes you back onto the main road.
A short walk along the road brings you towards the next section of the coast and the dog walk between Beadnell and Seahouses that we did along the beach.
You can include Ebb’s Nook as part of that longer route, but we would also treat it as a mini walk in its own right. You could park at Beadnell Bay, visit the harbour and kilns, walk around Ebb’s Nook and then return the same way.
Yes, definitely.
We were passing through rather than stopping, and that was the only problem. If we’d known what was there, we would have given the dogs at least an hour because it’s right up their street.
It’s also somewhere we’d certainly go if Beadnell Beach was busy with other dogs. You’re not going to get the same amount of space, but if you prefer a walk with more to look at, you might enjoy this one more.
