Washed by the waters of Montrose Bay, the sand stretches all the way to the estuary of the River South Esk. However, I revelled in it only as far as the outflow of the River North Esk, heading inland over dunes and saltmarsh to the reserve visitor centre, housed in a former lifeboat shed at Kirkside.

The wood has over a mile of pathways which connect directly with the country park where four more miles of riverside and woodland walks await. The three mile Ness Waterfall Trail follows the river to a waterfall viewing point. This is followed closely by 13 incidents of criminal damage and arson, double the Peterborough average of 6.1. Of these, the most prominent type of crime were violence and sexual offences, with 14 incidents. This is followed closely by 13 incidents of anti-social behaviour, 11 of vehicle crime and 10 of shoplifting, which is more than three times the city's average. This ancient Irthing Gorge Woodland lines the steep slopes of a deep gorge chiselled by the River Irthing. Walk the trail to reach Crammel Linn at the head of the gorge - at 8 metres, it's the largest waterfall in Northumberland.John Lewis-Stempel is one of our finest nature writers as well as a working farmer in west Herefordshire. But this book focuses on another farm, Woodston, in the top left corner of Worcestershire, which he knows intimately, thanks to decades of family connections. His grandfather was farm manager, his mother grew up there, one time eating “baked hedgehog with a gypsy boy called David”, and he still feels profoundly linked to it.

There were 22 crimes reported that fell under the category of violence and sexual offences Orton Malbourne, Dogsthorpe, Millfield and the City Centre were the only places with more of this category of crime committed. The Glen Finglas estate is vast. At the heart of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, it's home to mountains and rivers, hills and glens, woodland and moorland.

Of these 46, almost a third, were reports of violence and sexual offences, more than three times Peterborough's average of 14.8. Of historical significance, Woodsetton is the birthplace of industrial pioneer Abraham Darby, [4] who developed the process of smelting iron ore using coke.

Gone are the stake nets once common on the beach, their remains consumed by sea and sand, while the dunes are slowly encroaching upon the whitewashed salmon bothies that sit by the path.
