Facts and practical information

Hadston Skeers are towards the northern End of Druridge Bay, Northumberland. They are made up of shelves of flat rocks, extending out into the North Sea for some distance, maybe half a mile, and are edged with weed-covered rocks. This area is ideal for fish, particularly cod, and they are usually populated with numerous sea fishermen, even more so when conditions are right. ()
