Northumberland

Alnmouth is located at the mouth of the River Aln about 4 miles south east of Alnwick. Originally a small port supporting fishing and trade, Alnmouth is now a well conserved and picturesque coastal resort; this was partly the result of a violent storm in 1806 that changed the course of the river.

We start at the Grade II listed stone Duchess Bridge and follow the estuary past the harbour and round to Alnmouth Bay. Walking up Northumberland Street, at the end we note the gardens for the Friary of St Francis are open and visit them. We walk up Bracken Hill and have great views of Alnmouth Bay. We then follow the Northumberland coastal path and walk along the beach to Marden Rocks, with the links of Alnmouth golf course on our left, up to Foxton Hall - now the club house - as far as Seaton. It has been a good visit, and we can recommend Alnmouth to potential visitors.Читать далее
