It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” (Ray Bradbury\, Fahrenheit 451)\nThe temperature at which the Whin Sill was injected between the kilometre thick layers of Carboniferous sedimentary rock was over double that at which paper will combust\, the F ahrenheit 451 of Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel. At over 1000 degrees Cels ius the Whin Sill magma would have glowed a bright yellow\, painful to the eyes\, albeit this would have been impossible to do as the molten rock re mained trapped a kilometre or so underground. \nThis walk explores the roc ks on this beautiful part of the coast which give the evidence for this st ory\, showing what happens when hot magma and cold rock meet. The walk wil l also also help to explain the story of how the 300 million year old root s of Bamburgh Castle came to provide such a nicely defensible landform.\nD o I need to book? This event has to be booked in advance.

All proceeds for this wak will go to Scotswood Gardens.\nWalk summar y: Cocklawburn Beach is not only a stunnigly beautiful beach but it also c ontains a wealth of fossilised ancient life preserved within the layers of rock mapped out across the beach. This walk will take you out onto the li mestone shelves and elsewhere in search of fossils along with an explanati on of what they were and how they lived.\nWhen these layers of rocks were laid down about 350 million years ago this was a large shallow basin which over hundreds of thousands of years alternated between a deltaic environm ent (with river-sands\, lake-mud and coal-swamps) and a shallow tropical s ea. In these tropical seas there lived a wide variety of sea creatures inc luding crinoids\, brachipods\, corals\, orthocones\, fish and trilobites\, and their shells and bones in their millions sank to the bottom of the se a to form lime rich layers. Over time these were turned into the hard lime stone layers which delimit Cocklawburn Beach. The remains of these sea cre atures can easily be found if you know where to look. \nDo I need to book?  This event has to be booked in advance. The walks are “pay-what-you-feel” with all proceeds for this walk going to Scotswood Gardens. I respectfull y suggest £15 for this half day event.

No refunds w ill be given for this walk.\nWhere do we meet? We meet south of Cocklawbur n Beach by the car parking area where the ice-cream van usually parks sout h of the first bay of Cocklawburn Beach. As the road drops down to Cocklaw burn Beach there is a parking area on your right\, go past this and the ro ad bends around to the left towards the sea. There is then another parking area on your left as the road swings around to the right - this is where we will meet.
