On leaving Fenwick village and crossing the A1, this longish 12 mile / 19.5 km final stage of the route joins the St. Cuthbert's Way for a short spell,
passing Fenwick Granary and crosses the East Coast Main Line, then heads towards the causeway leading to Holy Island and then a short walk towards Beal Point.

The route progresses north through Goswick Links and Dunes to Beachcomber Campsite and Riding Stables, Goswick Golf Club and the massive expanse of Goswick Sands.

Then onto Cocklawburn Dunes Nature Reserve,
past Cocklawburn Beach before heading north on the cycle track at Sea House and then through some of the remotest areas of this coastline.

Following the cliff-top path, which leads down to the Victorian promenade at Spittal, passing Berwick Harbour and onto the Old Bridge that crosses the River Tweed.

Enter historic Berwick upon Tweed through its fortified Elizabethan wall, turning left to follow the riverside path and finally emerging at the Railway Station.

This marks the end of The Northumberland Coast Path.
