One of the most picturesque villages on the Northumberland coast, the small, isolated 18th-century fishing village of Low Newton by the Sea is popular with visitors all year round. Owned by the National Trust, the village consists of an open-ended square of cream-washed cottages set around a green and looking out to sea across the beach of Newton Haven.

The centre of the village is the Ship Inn (originally known as the Smack Inn), a popular and friendly pub serving an excellent range of bar meals. An inn is reputed to have been here since the18th century.

The Northumberland Coast Path is 64 miles long and is part of the North Sea Trail. From Cresswell it follows the coast as far as Bamburgh before heading inland to Belford and the Kyloe Hills, which offer panoramic coastal views. From here is joins St. Cuthbert's Way and returns to the coast at the causeway to Holy Island before continuing to Berwick.
