Marsden Rock

Favorite thing: This is the main "Marsden Rock" after 1/2 of it collapsed. Compare it to the big picture on the opening page...
Cormorants nest on the rock (it was the biggest colony in the North East) and a whole variety of other birds nest in the cliffs, especially Kittewakes with their distinctive self-naming call.

Fondest memory: More information on this area of the North East coast can be found on my Sunderland page.

Marsden Rocks

Favorite thing: The rock stacks of the Marsden coast are best seen from the cliff top walk. You can walk this entire section from Souter Lighthouse to South Shields. Marsden is about 1/2 way between these two.

Fondest memory: We enjoy going here to visit the lighthouse and to see the rocks and the seabirds that nest on them and in the cliffs. It's really nice on a sunny day, at any time of year.
