Alnmouth is a small picturesque coastal village situated between the market town of Alnwick and the quaint fishing port of Amble.

The village itself has a variety of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and gift shops dotted along the quiet high street. Visitors are welcome to visit The Friary of Saint Francis and are allowed to walk around the grounds close to the sea (Alnmouth is the most northerly friar community in England).

Two golf courses are available in Alnmouth, the original golf course, which had 18-holes, was formed in 1869 and was designed by the famous golf professional Mungo Park (making it the second oldest course in England). At a later date it was split into two courses,

Alnmouth Golf Club, a challenging 18-hole course with an excellent layout and panoramic views, the course being located at nearby Foxton Hall.

The quiet golden sandy beach is perfect for a romantic picnic or stroll and is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle. A beautiful rural setting and plenty of bird watching opportunities along the sand dunes makes Almnouth beach one of the finest in Northumberland.

The nearby town of Alnwick is dominated by the medieval castle, home to the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. The castle, open to the public, recently found fame as the setting for the Harry Potter movies. 

The Alnwick Garden is a spectacular new garden within the castle grounds, and features water displays, a newly opened pavilion and the largest tree house in Europe. The garden is open every day of the year except Christmas day.

Also nearby and known as "The Friendliest Port", the town of Amble was built on a point of land that juts out, so providing extensive views of the coastline. Amble harbour is now shared by traditional fishing vessels and a modern Marina, full of colourful yachts. A mile or so up river is the imposing sight of Warkworth Castle and during the summer there are regular boat trips from the harbour to the RSPB bird sanctuary at Coquet Island.
