Cresswell Northumberland Map

About Cresswell

Cresswell rests on the Northumberland coast, a place where the land meets the sea with a quiet dignity. It lies 5.7 km north-north-west of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea (from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea: bearing 339°T, OS grid NZ 292 933), and is situated north-east of Ellington village. The air here carries the salty tang of the North Sea, a constant companion to the gentle sweep of the coastline. Beyond the village, the landscape unfolds in a mosaic of arable fields, their rich soil reflecting the soft, often pearly light that characterises this part of England. Cresswell itself is a cluster of dwellings, many of which seem to have grown organically from the earth, their stone walls warmed by the sun. The nearby dunes, a wilderness of marram grass and sea thrift, whisper tales of the relentless tides and the passage of countless seabirds.
