Surrounded by beautiful beaches and rolling countryside, Amble is perfectly positioned for those who want to explore everything Northumberland has to offer.
This small working fishing port is home to a close-knit but friendly community. The development of an award-winning marina on the site of the former staithes has brought new life to Amble. It also has good shops, pubs and boasts a bustling Sunday market.
If you want to watch the world go by, head towards Amble promenade and watch the fishing boats land their catch of the day.
You can also eat award-winning fish and chips or embark on a birdwatching boat trip to Coquet Island - home to a variety of birds including Puffins, Roseate Terns and a large colony of seals.
Amble is home to the Northumberland Seabird Centre which features live television feeds from the nearby Coquet Island giving you the chance to view the nesting Roseate Terns. Also in town you will find the Amble Sundial, which has the largest gnomon (indicator) in Europe.
Watersports enthusiasts should head for the Coquet Shorebase Trust, a community based watersports centre offering training in sailing, kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing, powerboating and raft building.
The Town Trail will lead you to the many places of interest hidden in quiet secluded areas. Amble is close to Warkworth, Alnwick and Morpeth, and also provides access to many walks and cycle routes. The famous Coasts and Castles National Cycle Route passes close to Amble.
