By the stone abutments to the two lower, earlier road bridges, with the tide at full ebb you may be able to see the remains of the wooden sluice that gave Seaton Sluice its name. In the late 17th century, Sir Ralph Delaval made various improvements to the harbour so he could ship out the coal and salt produced on the estate. He protected his port from attack by the French or the Dutch by providing a gun battery on the seaward side of what is now called Rocky Island.
The guns were used in anger at least once, in A small cargo vessel ran to Seaton Sluice when it was chased by a Dutch privateer and Sir Ralph fired warning shots at the privateer as well as sending out two boats to escort the vessel in.
At the lower harbour, turn sharp left then climb the steps up to the main road. Follow the pavement to the right northwards. The hillock to your right is called Sandy Island and was formed over decades by ships casting their ballast after they entered harbour to load cargoes. Carry on along the pavement to the Eve Black Way. This walk follows the full length of the path. At low or medium tide you can walk along the beach instead. You rejoin the route when you reach the sea wall and Blyth Battery at 8.
Along the beach there are several concrete blocks, each about 1m3, used on large stretches of the Northumberland coast to impede invading tanks. She campaigned for the construction of this path in and it was named in commemoration of her in The name changed in when there was a vast military review on Blyth Links.
It was overseen by the Duke of Gloucester, who is said to have used the farm as his headquarters, so it was renamed in his honour. During the review, Lord Delaval put on several lavish dinners at Seaton Delaval Hall to entertain the senior officers, including the Royal Duke. The various structures in the field across the road from Gloucester Lodge Farm are the remains of a Second World War anti-aircraft battery, manned at one stage by American troops.
Towards the end of your walk you will pass Lysdon Farm step 16 , which is 1 mile west of here. Should you wish to shorten this walk, there is a bridleway from here directly to Lysdon Farm: cross at the pedestrian crossing and go through the gate to follow the track indicated by the bridleway fingerpost. Otherwise, continue on the Eve Black Way.
The Ghost Riders sculpture commemorates three cyclists who were killed in an accident on the dual carriageway nearby while out riding with four friends.
The Eve Black Way ends at Blyth Battery, built to defend the major coal transport hub and warship building yards at Blyth. During the summer, volunteers open the buildings to the public. Go towards the sea then left when you reach the promenade to walk to the ship-shaped Dave Stephens Centre, an amenity building named after a former leader of Blyth Valley Council.
Commemorated on the wall of the centre are eight private soldiers and the Lieutenant who organised the attempt to rescue them when they got into difficulties in the sea. They were all members of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and they drowned here in August From the Dave Stephens Centre, cross the car park and walk between the garage and the farm buildings to reach the road. Cross the dual carriageway with great care and go right towards the roundabout where you need to turn left into South Newsham Road.
For their continuing loyalty to the new royal family they were granted parcels of land in Northumberland, including Newsham with Seaton Delaval, Dissington and Callerton. As you walk down the pavement look across the fields on your left to see Seaton Delaval Hall silhouetted on the horizon.
