Amble, Northumberland.

Amble is a town and port on the Northumberland Coast.

It is approx. 27.5 miles north of Newcastle by road and just under 9 miles from Alnwick.

In years gone by Amble was a very busy port shipping coal that was brought by rail from nearby collieries.

The collieries, railway and ships are long gone and today the main trade is the fishing boats that still use the harbour.

Amble has a large marina with many pleasure craft moored there so the river is still quite busy. A walk around the harbour and pier is a pleasant way to pass the time all year round.

There are plenty of pubs and the high street is a small but busy shopping area.

Boat trips can be taken around nearby Coquet Island with its lighthouse and many varieties of nesting sea birds. Seals are also a regular site, even in the harbour.

To the south lie the vast and superb beaches of Druridge Bay, while Warkworth with the remains of it's large and once important castle is within easy walking distance.

There is a large static caravan park in Amble and nearby at Hauxley and Warkworth. Also touring caravan and camping sites at Chevington and Warkworth.

Amble is served by regular buses from Newcastle, Alnwick and local services. The nearest rail station is at Alnmouth on the East Coast Main Line about 6 miles away with buses from there.

The photos on this page were taken around the harbour and pier at different times of the year.
