Dunbar

This large country park stretches from the ruins of Dunbar Castle to the Peffer Burn some 4 miles to the north west. The park includes the wide sandy Belhaven Bay, the estuary of the river Tyne, large areas of saltmarsh and scrub, and the rocky headland known as St. Baldred's Castle. Breeding birds include eider, shellduck and ringed plover. Good system of trails. Both Shorefield Road and Linkfield car parks have toilets.
