Druridge Bay Country Park
Druridge Bay Country Park is adjacent to Druridge Bay between Amble and Cresswell, on the coastline of Northumberland, England. The country park was opened officially in 1989, but works had been ongoing since the 1970s to remediate the site after opencast coaling operations. The park is accessible by vehicle from the A1068 road, and is located on the England Coast Path. Public transport can be taken near to the park's closest village, which involves a 15-minute walk to get to the park. History The eastern edge of the park, where it meets the coastline, was used in the Second World War as an aerial gunnery and target practice range. This was administered by the nearby RAF Acklington station. Opencasting and quarrying were the previous industries in the area, and when these ceased, the site was redeveloped into a country park. Coal has been worked in the area progressively since the 1940s, which has left several large ponds and pools as an after effect of the coaling operations. D ...
