In Search of Charlotte Marsh

Our ride starts and finishes at Alnmouth train station, postcode - NE66 3QF at 18:30 to meet with trains arriving, the ride will return to the station for return trains between 20 and 20:30 accordingly.!

This cycle route is inspired by Charlotte Marsh, militant suffragette - our ride will take her birthplace in Alnmouth village. We will cycle approximately 8 miles.

Beginning from Alnmouth station west side, we will leave Alnmouth station, ride through Curly Lane, Hipsburn then onto Alnmouth village. There maybe a small amount of busyness around the station which our experienced ride leaders will navigate riders through. After cycling through Alnmouth we will ride along National Cycle Network Route 1, which is a beautiful country coastal route which we expect to be quiet, taking in the sea air. We will stop for a break at Boulmer for a quick refuel and photo opportunity. There are some small undulations en route but nothing too serious!

Helmets are always advisable, as is clothing suitable for the weather. We also advise you to bring along an inner tube suitable for your wheel, tyre levers and a bicycle pump. Note the potential pub stop so you may want to bring along some cash if you can find some!

We especially welcome newbies!
