Embark on the Boulmer and Rennington loop from Alnmouth, a moderate touring cycling route spanning 25.4 miles (40.9 km) with an elevation gain of 1047 feet (319 metres), typically completed in 2 hours and 37 minutes. You will cycle through diverse scenery, from coastal paths and sandy beaches to rolling agricultural land and river estuaries. The route takes you past charming coastal villages like Boulmer, a historic fishing village, and offers views of golf courses and pretty coastal houses, especially between Alnmouth and Boulmer.
This route offers a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces. While mostly paved, some sections, particularly on coastal bridleways, may be unpaved and rough, requiring you to dismount and push your bike for short stretches. The elevation changes are generally gentle, but you will encounter moderate climbs that reward you with expansive views of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The loop provides an excellent blend of coastal and inland experiences, allowing you to explore the character of Northumberland's fishing heritage in Boulmer, which even has a pub, the Fishing Boat Inn, for a convenient stop. This trail is part of a larger network of cycling routes in Northumberland, known for good public transport links, making different sections easily accessible for your touring adventure.
