NORTHUMBERLAND PARISH #2: CRESSWELL
Cresswell is a quiet pretty little village located on Druridge Bay on the North Sea Coast of Northumberland. Very popular with walkers its a popular birdwatching area
A lot of the information in this one comes from a book called Cresswell’s Curiosties by Barry Mead, which you can buy from the very popular Drift Café which overlooks Druridge Bay
The area has spectacular scenery, scenic clifftop paths and a beautiful golden sandy beach which is the biggest beach in all of Northumberland.
The Cresswell (and later Baker-Cresswell) family have been associated with the village since the 12th century. Many of the village’s houses were part of the Cresswell estate built by them in the 1820s
The area is rife with legends, like the tale of the local tailor, who was regarded as the best in the country in 1752. The devil paid him a visit and tried to tempt him to fall into the sin of pride.
When the tailor contacted the local vicar, the devil supposedly vanished in a ball of fire. It was a hotspot for witchcraft too. A total of 23 witches are recorded as being executed in the area
The village has one ice-cream shop and a beautiful church. It's a very peaceful area but within easy reach of all the attractions that Northumberland has to offer.
This one might be small, but it’s one of Northumberland’s real hidden gems
