I was reminiscing as I waded through old photos. I loved my St Abb pics and decided to write a post to share that experience with you.
This hike actually started in Coldingham Bay in the Scottish Borders. Our destination was St Abbs Head as shown in the above maps.
When we arrived at Coldingham we quickly passed the beach and headed across the dunes to St Abbs harbour.
We made a short stop at the village. The village was originally known as Coldingham Shore, the name St Abbs was adopted in the 1890s. The new name was derived from St Abbs Head, a rocky projection located to the north of the village which is where we were heading.
The village is a small picturesque fishing village which is still active today.
As we stopped we took in the views from the lookout point. The gulls were in full form. It was such a invigorating view.
After that stop we continued journey to St Anbs Head, periodically stopping to take in the coastal views
The landscape was breathtaking.
The sheet openness and coastal undulation of the land surrounding us was mesmerizing.
We finally go there. It was awesome.
When seeing a place like this you are reminded how small we all are in the grand scheme of things. What a magnificent view. In fact views.
We stopped for lunch and then slowly made our way back but this time we spent time at the beach.
It was a perfect way to end the day
