This lifebelt is attached to the railings at the extreme southern end of the promenade which runs around Newbiggin Bay. Behind, the sea breaks over Spital Carrs and on the distant horizon can be seen four of the five wind turbines making up the Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Wind Farm, which lies four miles off the coast. The 2017-completed wind farm is owned by EDF Energies Nouvelles.
