About Alnmouth

A famously pretty seaside village in Northumberland, Alnmouth has become a favourite summer holiday destination for young families, keen ramblers and romantic couples alike. The winning combination of great seafood, heritage landmarks and walking trails keeps travellers returning again and again. Attractive accommodation options are characterful and historic, and many of the best places to stay in Alnmouth have lovely sea views.

Alnmouth Beach, a vast stretch of golden sand framed by grassy dunes, is fabulous for fresh, sunlit strolls, or for building sandcastles and sharing picnics on summer evenings. Set within one of Northumberland’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the beach is also home to a wonderful array of bird life. Delve into the port’s history at the Ferryman’s Hut Museum, clamber up Church Hill for the views or admire the ruins of the Old Battery on your rambles.

There are fabulous footpaths to follow, as well as cycling and riding routes aplenty in the area. Keen golfers can play a round or two within sight of the sea. Spend your evenings plotting your next adventure by the fire with a glass or two of wine at one of the best places to stay in Alnmouth.
