Crag Point

Crag Point is a prominent headland located on the Northumberland coast in northeastern England. Situated near the village of Boulmer, it is a notable feature along this stretch of rugged coastline.

The headland is characterized by its towering cliffs that rise sharply from the sea, reaching heights of up to 30 meters (98 feet). These cliffs are composed primarily of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and limestone, which have been shaped and eroded by the relentless action of the North Sea over centuries.

Crag Point offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the expansive North Sea. On a clear day, visitors can see as far as the Farne Islands, a group of small uninhabited islands that are home to a diverse range of bird species. The headland also provides a vantage point for observing marine wildlife, including seals and dolphins, which are often spotted swimming in the nearby waters.

The area is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers due to its dramatic cliffs, picturesque landscapes, and abundant wildlife. Crag Point is part of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ensuring its preservation and protection for future generations to enjoy.

Access to Crag Point is possible via a footpath that leads from Boulmer village, offering a pleasant coastal walk for visitors. However, caution is advised near the cliff edges, as they can be unstable and pose a danger.
