About the local area

Embleton is a friendly village in a picturesque setting less than one mile from the renowned Embleton Bay on the Heritage Coast, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The historic market town of Alnwick is 7 miles inland and offers many amenities and places of interest. Alnwick Castle, sometimes called the Windsor of the North, has been the setting for many films and television productions including Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter films and some of the earlier Blackadder series. The Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade waterfall and poison garden, features a rustic restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe.

The fishing village of Craster, famous for its oak smoked kippers, is 3 miles south. From Seahouses, about 8 miles to the north, boat trips depart regularly for the Farne Islands with their bird sanctuaries and seal colony. Bamburgh, 10 miles to the north, is dominated by its dramatic castle, once the home of the North East industrialist Sir William Armstrong. Bamburgh is also home to the recently redeveloped Grace Darling Museum.
