About

The Longhoughton and Alnmouth area occupies a stretch of Northumberland's coastline, characterised by its open agricultural land and coastal scenery. The village of Longhoughton lies inland, with a traditional layout centred around its church, while the settlement of Boulmer is a linear fishing hamlet known for its lifeboat station. The area is primarily residential and agricultural, with a network of minor roads connecting farms and villages to the main arterial route.

Alnmouth sits at the mouth of the River Aln, its position historically making it a small grain port. The village is defined by its estuary, sandy beach, and golf course, claiming to be the oldest in England. Distinctive coloured houses line the waterfront, and the area is noted for its birdlife on the mudflats and dunes. The landscape transitions from the estuary's salt marshes to the inland rolling fields.
