County Durham's coastline has evolved from its industrial past to become a haven for wildlife.
There are great views from the cliff top paths and several wooded ravines add variety where streams have eroded the soft magnesian limestone.
The Heritage Coast stretches from north of Seaham to Horden and Hartlepool.
Parts of the coastline are cared for by the National Trust.
Open at all times.
