Amble is a bustling fishing town and working port, situated just 1-mile south of Warkworth village, on the Coastal Route through Northumberland.
With a good range of small, mostly independent shops, including a great little bakery, excellent butchers, Italian restaurant, award-winning seafood restaurants and one of the best traditional fish and chip shops in the North East on the quayside, it’s a fascinating little fishing port. There’s a local Sunday market held every week on the old quayside, which is lovely to wander around, as well as a little ‘Harbour Village’ with tiny boutique-style independent shops operating out of pods resembling old fishermen’s huts. The views from the quayside are spectacular, of the estuary, impressive Warkworth Castle, Coquet Island and of course the beautiful sea, and the walk along the harbour front to the interesting marina is just lovely, follow it with lunch or dinner in one of the super little eateries on the quayside. There is golf, fishing and water sports nearby. Beach 2½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

Lovely surprisingly spacious terraced house. Well equipped and near sea, harbour ,shops and wonderful coastal walk. Brilliant for boat to Coquet Island where you can see and hear thousands of seals and puffins at this time of year. June 26

Communication from Julia before we arrived was great, the house was easy to find & very clean. The high ceilings & extension downstairs make it feel huge yet still warm & cozy. We had to turn the heating down rather than up. The house isn’t a through road which meant it was super quiet at all times. Parking was easy & always available & we enjoyed the lighthearted information booklet. The cove is just a few minutes walk away & a larger beach available in the opposite direction which went on for miles. Pubs, restaurants & shops were a short walk. The Tesco is a decent size & well stocked. we saw a couple of resident seals in the harbour more than once whilst walking to The Old Boathouse which was a great spot for some spring sunshine & the Geordie Banger does a great sausage role. The Wellwood arms does great deals on food as does the Radcliffe Cafe Bar. Walkworth is worth a walk & is just a couple of miles away & Cragside is well worth a visit.Our dog lived his best salty dog life while he was there & we’ve more restaurants to try out so will definitely be back.
