In the video, we have made you think there was no station. It was the branch line to Alnwick that closed with no services to Alnwick. You can come to Alnmouth by train!

As an American whose obsessed with History, it's hard to wrap my brain around what it would be like to live or visit a place that has roots back to the 12th century such as Alnmouth. Every time i turned a corner my mind would be blown away with the fascination of everything before me! I don't know that I'll ever make over to Great Britian but if i do, I'll know ill never want to leave! Especially considering it is the land of my Ancestors!
I was just explaining on another comment, how we could just visit these places and not find out the history and very soon whilst pretty they would all be the same. Once you know a little about its past then your imagination can really start to try and work out what it was like and how they lived. It makes each place totally different and extremely interesting. I hope one day you can come and see it for yourself. Thanks for watching.
Its amazing, I live in Northumberland. You kinda take it for granted, then you go for a drive or a ride or watch a video of it lol and marval at whats at my fingertips. My school trips were to Hadrians Wall, Holy Island and many of the castles we have. I hope you make it here, the history is just everywhere. Yes I really do know how lucky I am. Happy to answer if youve any questions on where im from.
Thank you for showing the world my beautiful Historic and mostly idilic County to the rest of the world. I feel so blessed to have grow up in Morpeth and now Live 2 miles from Seaton Sluice. Can you all imagine where we went to as kids in the 70's what a place to grow, no wonder I love history so much. Enjoy the series everyone, I shall. Thanks once again.
Lovely village. Seems more relaxed rather than overrun by busy tourist groups. Must have been a tremendous quarry nearby to build all of those wonderful structures.
The East Coast mainline goes through Alnmouth and some trains call there. The fare from Newcastle is $7.93 USD. The video seemed to indicate that there was no longer any train service. It is the larger place, Alnwick, up the River Aln, that is without train service.
Thank you for pointing this out. I have put a note in the first comment. I can see now thanks to your comment that indeed Alnmouth station is on the East Coast line. So Alnmouth branched off to Alnwick and that line ceased but the main line continues.
@@MemorySeekers I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Even folks whose income is derived from shuttling punters around the tourist /sights/sites of Ye Olde England sometimes miss things. I remember getting a day tour around the Cotswolds from Oxford quite a while back and while the driver/guide could point out the line of the old Roman Akeman Street, he was completely ignorant of an obvious line of a disused railway in the same vicinity. 😉😊
Born and bred in alnmouth from 1956, We were feral kids, poorest in the village, stayed out till dark in the summer at 10 yrs old, mother didnt have a clue where we were, looking back, happiest time of my life, had nothing, wanted nothing......reply to comment if you remember
Lovely video 😊 the place is perfect for coastal holidays & even it's not crowded, which is best for peaceful trips.. as always your voice & narration is great 👍hope u both had good time.
Thank you so much for watching. The knowledge is obtained by reading, researching as we go really. I am not a historian but like to find out some intersting things to share to go along with what we are seeings.
Another fantastic video. My Father was born in that area. Such a pretty place. I do love the birdsong too. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
As a Dutchman, I love England, as well for holiday’s, have been several times to England. I think this year in June I want to explore Northumberland, because there is so much to see!! Thank you for all your nice en interesting video’s, professional, well done!😊 ((also the Faroe Islands, are standing high on my list to visit once, you have made also a nice video about it👍🏻))
Thank you very much for the comment and kind words. I do hope they have given you inspiration for your trips. I am sure you will have a wonderful in both! June is also a good time to head to the Faroes!
Absolutely beautiful! Alnmouth is so quaint & charming! Such an interesting History, albeit a bit sad at times, with excellent Commentary, filming & footage, as always. Thank you for sharing this delightful wee fishing Village! Blessings to you both!
I was at the Schooner late 1950’s when it was a Newcastle Breweries/ James Deuchar hotel, busy times in summer then with families staying on holidays. There was a Thames barge anchored in the river for a few months, sailed up from the south, owner had to wait a good while to get over the bar. We also got a cricket team going on the golf course by the club house.
Thanks for another beautiful video. I don’t get to travel much these days and are so look forward to seeing where you guys go gives me lots of enjoyment thank you.
Love it, so love your history and the village just steps out as a place where stories such as Famous Five stories could be based. Hard working through history but now so peaceful. Thank you as always.
You have the perfect name for your channel, thanks for seeking out all these beautiful locations for us. I hope you have wonderful memories of these locations.
Love all your travel experiences, boys. Never disappointed, even in bad weather. 🇬🇧 Wish i knew how to deactivate German subtitles blocking the screen, but a small price to pay. ❤
Thanks boys, another great insight into a truly magnificent part of our world. I was sat here sipping my whisky tuned in. Looking forward to Seaton Sluice!
I’ve lived my entire life only a little way down the coast from Alnmouth, at Druridge Bay (near cresswell) and I learned a lot I never knew about Alnmouth from your video.
It's so relaxing watching your videos. One feels we are walking along. I love all the historical stories you dig up and these charming villages. Let us know of some good local eateries and some interesting B&B's. Thank you.
Thank you, it is great fun finding out the history. We could just arrive and walk around but then each place becomes very much the same. Just knowing that it used to be a huge port exporting gran or like in Seaton Sluice a huge bottle making works, just makes you imagine the streets in a different way. How it once was, how the lived and the impact they had on society. Love all that! ☺
Another great video, I'm enjoying seeing you come to my local area. Please tell me you did one of the boat cruises to the Farne islands from Seahouses?
I’m afraid this time we didn’t as we picked other things to do but we have to come back we have hardly touched the surface in a week travelling around. Sadly full time jobs means we can’t come and go as we please.
@@MemorySeekers Ah ok. Well never mind I hope you guys still had an amazing time. There's a lot to see and do here in the North East so it would be great to have you back, any time!
Hi Simon and Will, well you've picked an absolutely gorgeous place to visit this time, which happens to be one of our favorites, we know Northumberland very well particularly the stretch from Alnmouth upto Bamburgh, we're looking forward to the rest of your tour, all the best gents
We have enjoyed your great videos on a large smart TV screen, which is so much better that watching on a computer, and have followed you from day one. We live in Australia and enjoy watching posts and videos on Great Britain, and anywhere from the rest of the world. I cannot help myself for being a spelling and grammar nazi and the slightest error hits my brain when I see, or read posts and videos. One small comment, if you do not mind-remnants is the word, not remanants. Keep up the wonderful videos, as we watch them all.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but another interesting fact about Alnmouth is that whenever the Queen Mother took the train up to Edinburgh, in her younger years, she would make the driver stop the train so that she could gaze out over the estuary at Alnmouth and take in the view of the village and of the pretty painted houses. It was said to be the view that she loved the most!
What a lovely village full of history - never been but would love to visit sometime - enjoying your content guys, just came across the channel - subscribed 🙂
O me miserum! I don’t want to come across as unfriendly but as someone who lives in the NE of England I wish people would keep quiet about it. We’ve managed to keep it a secret for years. Proper modern living communities in an ancient, diverse settings and land/seascape are attractive but we don’t need “blow ins” buying holiday cottages or being Rachman air b & b landlords. We live here, love to share it but don’t want you buying property.
I feel the same about the Cotswolds , whole villages spoiled by empty houses in the winter where kids I went to school with lived , and pubs and shops disappeared through lack of use
Lovely in its day but now full of holiday let’s and second home owners . Local pubs of which no body speaks to you .village is dying because of tourist

Northumberland. One of the truly historic English counties. Beautiful up there, big skies, big people, big impact, big welcome

A lovely part of the country to live. I can feel how proud you are of your county. 😊👍
Lovely village. Seems more relaxed rather than overrun by busy tourist groups. Must have been a tremendous quarry nearby to build all of those wonderful structures.
I think it does still get busy, we did struggle to get a space to park in the village, but I don't think coach tours come through here.

I was born here in 1960, grew up there until my teens, in abject poverty, it's now a millionaire's haven.
That explains all the pubs and hotels and no tour busses.

@@MemorySeekers Danke Vielmals. Cleaned my reading glasses with window cleaner. 🙂 love from Germany!! 🇩🇪
We have never been there. Those steeps were so well worn. Thank for such a lovely video 👍🙏
Its a lovely place worthy of a visit.
Thanks boys, another great insight into a truly magnificent part of our world. I was sat here sipping my whisky tuned in.
Looking forward to Seaton Sluice!
I’ve lived my entire life only a little way down the coast from Alnmouth, at Druridge Bay (near cresswell) and I learned a lot I never knew about Alnmouth from your video.
Oh that is great to hear, thank you for saying so. ☺
Another fantastic video, such a beautiful place to visit, thanks for all the time you spend bringing all these fabulous places into our homes.
Our pleasure, we love doing it!
Wow!! Didn't you have wonderful weather?? Superb drone work!!
The weather was not bad at all, sadly it didn't last!
These villages all look so lovely! Thank you for sharing your travels!!
The few we have seen so far in our Northumberland series were real surprises, very pretty and incredible history of how they shaped the country!
