Northumberland was voted the ‘best county to holiday in’ by the British Tourism Awards, and once you are here it is easy to see why. Amble is ideally located to explore this diverse county with Warkworth Castle and village a pleasant 2-mile walk along the estuary. The castle dominates the village and you will find some nice pubs and cafés serving good food and drinks. The working harbour offers boat trips over to Coquet Island to see the bird sanctuary, and is also home to a very popular Sunday market. The little shopping pods are a great way to support the village community, and Amble has a thriving local community spirit. There are two lovely fish and chip shops, a fabulous ice cream parlour and a couple of fish restaurants along the harbour. Amble is reputedly the friendliest port and the cafés and bars are all run by local people.
The Heritage coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stretches along the beautiful coastline to Berwick-upon-Tweed with miles of golden beaches and castles. Be sure to visit Holy Island, home to the Lindisfarne Gospels, but make sure you check the tide tables to access the causeway. For Harry Potter fans, a visit to Alnwick Castle, 10 miles, is a must. It is home to the Duke of Northumberland and a popular tourist destination in the cobbled historic town of Alnwick. Alnmouth station is only a few miles away, where you can catch the East Coast train up to Edinburgh or down to Newcastle or York for day trips to remember.
Amble is centrally located for exploring in all directions, so a trip over to Hadrian’s Wall, Kielder National Park or up the Heritage coast are all easily accessible from here. Amble has plenty of shops, a bank, cafés, pubs and amenities so you can leave your car behind and have a nice meal and drink out and walk back to Wheelhouse 21. Beach 100 yards. Shop 100 yards, pub 400 yards and restaurant 300 yards.

A very well appointed property, everything that we could have possibly needed was included and it was spotlessly clean. An excellent position and close to all of the town’s amenities. Lots of contact details should we have needed to contact the hosts.
