Alnmouth has always been a firm favourite for the last 30 years and never fails to restore the spirits 🧡

The little village of Alnmouth during golden hour 🧡

The name Alnmouth comes from the Old English mūþa (mouth of river), once an important part of trade and a busy port the village saw a decline in the 19th century.

Now Alnmouth is rated as among the “20 most beautiful villages in the UK and Ireland” and lies within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Looking out towards Holy Island 🌊

One of our favourite views from Bamburgh Castle, with the castle walls and cannons in the foreground and Holy Island of Lindisfarne visible across the water in the distance.

Have you visited both Bamburgh and Holy Island on your travels around Northumberland? 🏰
