A Hidden Village is Now in the Top 10 UK Seaside Towns

The village is getting the recognition it deserves.

The Northumberland coastline is popular this summer for affordable getaways, and the new King Charles III Coastal Path lets people explore the whole UK shoreline on foot.

The coastal path around the country helps walkers find their next staycation, and this village is a great place to start.

Time Out ranked the best UK seaside towns, and a hidden gem in Northumberland made the top 10. Alnmouth is known for its natural beauty and soft sands, located between Newcastle and Edinburgh.

Alnmouth is more popular than some well-known seaside resorts, including St Ives and Brighton, and is better than its nearby neighbors Bamburgh and Berwick.

The village has about 455 people.

Alnmouth is in one of Northumberland's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with unspoilt areas and lots of wildlife. Alnmouth Beach is a treasured spot, loved by tourists and locals for its sand and sea.
