Amble Development Trust

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.
