Amble is a town, civil parish and seaport on the North Sea coast of Northumberland, England. It lies at the mouth of the River Coquet, and the nearby Coquet Island is visible from its beaches and harbour. The civil parish is called Amble by the Sea .
Amble grew in the nineteenth century as collieries were opened; and the newly built railway links to the Northumberland coalfields made the town a centre for the sea transport and export of coal. Prior to the development of the harbour, the town was little more than a hamlet, according to the architectural guides originally compiled by Nikolaus Pevsner. The principal local mineworkings were those at Broomhill and at Radcliffe. The harbour at Amble was the smallest of those that served the coalfields of Northumberland and Durham. It was originally under the control of the Dukes of Northumberland until, in 1837, a port authority – the Warkworth Harbour Commission – was created to supervise improvements.
The Pevsner guide of 1992 says that Today Amble is a not unpleasant small town but has few buildings of distinction. Of those, he records the church of St Cuthbert, which was originally constructed in 1870 and expanded in 1929, and its associated 1876-built vicarage. In addition, he notes some early Victorian terraces on Queen Street and North Street.
Amble is situated on the A1068 that runs along the north-eastern coastline. This road is the old corn trading road which runs from Hexham in south west Northumberland through Cramlington, Bedlington, Guide Post, Ashington and Ellington. The road continues through more open coastal areas towards Amble and continues approximately 6 miles (10 km) to the north to Alnmouth, then winds on to Alnwick. Amble also lies near to the A1, providing easy access to nearest city Newcastle upon Tyne (30 miles (48 km) south), Gateshead (30 miles (48 km) south) and to the Scottish capital Edinburgh (80 miles (130 km) north).
Representations were made in 2006 for Amble to be included in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which ends at the pier. The town is also adjacent to nature reserves operated by Northumberland Wildlife Trust at Cresswell, Druridge and Hauxley. The town has a caravan park, as well as guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation for visitors. The Braid, which forms a part of the harbour, is now a greenfield site with a modern marina.

AMBLE THE FRIENDLIEST PORT
If you plan to visit Northumberland Amble is a great place to see. There's still a fishing industry in the town plus boat trips round the nearby Coquet Island where you'll see Seals and numerous species is the Puffin, but the island is most important for the largest colony of the endangered Roseate Tern in Britain. Other nesting birds include Sandwich Tern, Common Tern, Arctic Tern, Black-legged Kittiwake, Fulmar, three gull species and Eider Duck.
The town holds the title 'Friendliest Port'. This derives from the 1930s when the RMS Mauretania was heading on her last voyage to the breaker's yard at Rosyth and the Amble Urban District Council sent a telegram to the ship saying still the finest ship on the seas. The Mauretania replied with greetings,

Amble Harbour and Warkworth Castle, Northumberland ©
Welcome to Rucksack Rose - The Outdoor Channel. Read more at OR
A varied 5.8 mile circular route on mixed terrain which takes in Amble Harbour and Marina, the St Oswald's Way and Warkworth Castle. Both Amble and Warkworth are accessible by bus and have facilities.
Warkworth Castle is a ruined medieval building in the village of the same name in Northumberland. The village and castle occupy a loop of the River Coquet less than a mile from the coast. The contsruction is traditionally ascribed to Prince Henry of Scotlamd in the mid 12th century. The castle was first documented in a charter of 1157 - 1164 when Henry II granted it to Roger Fitz Richard.
In the late 19th century the Percy dukes restored the castle which has been cared for by English Heritage since 1984. It is now a Grade 1 Listed Building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
