For countryside views, head to the Hauxley Nature Reserve, perfect for bird watching and wildlife spotting, or if you favour the coastal landscape, stop off at Warkworth Castle whilst travelling towards Warkworth's golden beach. Travel further towards Alnmouth, also home to a popular shoreline, Alnmouth Golf Club, and The Old School Gallery, showcasing a variety of local artwork, or discover the Northumberland shoreline some more at Druridge Bay Country Park, or East Chevington Bay Beach; both Northumberland Zoo and the Northumberland National Park are also within reach, popular attractions to add to your itinerary. Experience all of this, and more, at Stone's Throw.

Amble, a bustling small harbour at the River Coquet's mouth, is a great starting point for exploring Northumberland. In addition to sandy beaches, a marina, a harbour, and coastal hikes to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and the national park at Druridge Bay, Amble, once a centre for boatbuilding, offers all of these amenities. A variety of fish, prawns, crabs, and lobsters are landed by the large fishing boats that are moored around the harbour wall. On the side of the harbour is a fish centre that sells local fish and is available to the public. It is currently mostly a shellfish hatchery to restock levels of lobster and other shellfish. Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a sizable population of terns, puffins, and eider ducks, is located one mile south of Amble.
