England's longest national trail is to be renamed the King Charles III England Coast Path to mark the Coronation.
The 2,700-mile (4,345km) trail will be the longest managed path in the world when it is completed, longer than the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail in the USA. It passes through Northumberland, with a 31-mile stretch opening from Amble to Bamburgh having opened in October 2022.
That section of the route hugs the Northumberland Coast and takes in towns and villages such as Warkworth, Alnmouth, Boulmer, Craster, Embleton Bay, Low Newton-by-the-Sea, Beadnell and Seahouses. It is part of the 794 miles (1,278km) of the route which has opened so far, and it is expected to be fully walkable by the end of 2024.
