It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 3.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

Ryder, Alnwick District Council and Lady Sutherland 3 Introduction EMBLETON Embleton had also been known as Elmesdune (the hill where a man known as the caterpillar lived), Emyldon and Emeldon (long, low, undulating ridge like a caterpillar). The Barony of Embleton has belonged to Simon de Montford, Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, Henry Plantaganet and John of Gaunt, and the Embleton estate remained part of the Duchy of Lancaster until 1604 when it was sold by James I (VI) for almost £1,500. The village and district suffered severely from Scottish raids and records show that in several instances rents had to be remitted due to damage caused to crops and property. During the reign of James II of Scotland (c 1450) the men of Embleton were instructed that ‘in order to avoid conflagrations to take the roofs off their dwellings and to carry away to a place of safety’.
