A beach in Northumberland has been named one of the best in winter thanks to its rolling sand dunes and historic landmarks.<\/p>\n

Embleton Bay is a popular spot for paddling, with long stretches of golden sand overlooking the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle.<\/p>\n

It is located just minutes from the medieval village of Embleton which lies in a section of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.<\/p>\n

This hidden gem is so popular with locals and visitors that it was voted the best beach in the UK in 2017 by BBC’s Countryfile Magazine readers.<\/p>\n

Wildlife is in abundance here with dunes including species such as bloody cranesbill, eye bright, bedstraw, potentilla, spring squill, wild thyme and wild vetch.<\/p>\n

At the far northern end of the beach lies the village of Low Newton which is considered a separate beach.<\/p>\n

It is reached through a small country lane, with the village offering an isolated feel.<\/p>\n

It boast a church, a couple of small shops, a pub that has been open since the 18th century and a few holiday cottages.<\/p>\n

Dog owners are also able to walk their pets along the beach all year round.<\/p>\n

BBC’s Countryfile listed Embleton Bay as one of the “best” UK beaches in the winter time, thanks to its view of the ruins on a “clear, cold morning”.<\/p>\n

The ruins can be seen perfectly from the beach, with some venturing to the historic site.<\/p>\n

One person called it “wonderful” on Tripadvisor, while another said the “sand dunes offer great walking opportunities”.<\/p>\n

Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club is also close by, offering food and drink to those looking to spend the day in the area.<\/p>\n
