Welcome to Amble
If you have got this far, you have already shown an interest on our town. And why wouldn’t you?
Amble today is a town of many facets. We have developed over the years from a small collection of farms and residences, to a town which benefitted from the growth of fishing and coal mining, through the decline of these industries and is now emerging as a prominent tourist destination. Within Amble you find quality international cuisine, traditional pub food and lots besides. There is a growing café culture. You can take the opportunity to walk along the pier and harbour area where you can take in the views across the Coquet to Warkworth or take in the walks towards Hauxley and Druridge Bay. You can even take a trip out to look at Coquet Island where on a good day, you get views inland as far as Rothbury and the glorious Cragside House.
I feel a great pride in being asked by fellow Town Councillors to take on the role of Mayor of Amble. Being Amble born and bred, I see great things ahead for our town with the recent developments at the Harbour Village and the exciting new educational facilities opening up. As Amble continues to grow, we must continue to work to encourage developers reflect the needs of the town. It is always good to see the people of Amble come together, as they do for the annual Remembrance events, but also for recent commemorations for the 100th anniversary of our memorial clock tower as well as the annual Puffin Festival and the ever-popular Christmas Lights Parade, which seems to just get bigger every year! These are just some of the highlights of a year in Amble. These events are brought about by groups of volunteers who give their time to help make Amble the place it has become and the place it is becoming.
Hopefully you will join me in celebrating Amble for becoming the now not so hidden gem of the Northumbrian crown.
Cllr Ian Parks, Mayor of Amble
