Welcome to Amble Development Trust's Website

The historic port of Amble, 'the friendliest port', occupies a superb waterfront setting amidst some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in Great Britain. The town is located on the River Coquet estuary and is the southern gateway to Northumberland's AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) Coastline.

Amble has a thriving local community and is now enjoying increasing popularity as a tourist centre and a pleasant business location with good links to the rest of the country.

Amble Development Trust has been set up specifically to improve and develop Amble and has done so in many different ways, since its inception in 1994.

There is something for everyone on this web site. Please browse through the site to learn more about:

  • Trust activities and projects

Partners Amble Development Trust, the Town Council, the local Business Club, and Warkworth Harbour Commissioners have outlined in the report how a new wave of regeneration proposals can be developed to take the town in a fresh direction creating jobs, businesses, tourism, marine, and leisure opportunities.
