Why it's Wildland
5.8At the mouth of the River Coquet, Amble’s working-harbour character meets a lively waterfront of wooden Harbour Village pods, seafood and views across the estuary.
Amble Harbour earns its place for the way working-waterfront atmosphere, estuary scenery and independent food stops come together in a compact coastal visit. It is more of a lively harbour day out than a remote wild escape.
