Map of the UK

Embleton in Northumberland, England occupies a pleasantly exposed stretch of the north-east coast a few miles from Alnwick, encompassing the wide sands and dunes of Embleton Bay and offering clear views towards the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle on the headland. The landscape is part of the much admired Northumberland Coast, popular with walkers, birdwatchers and beachgoers.

Historically the area has been rooted in farming and small-scale fishing, and today that rural economy sits alongside a steady flow of visitors, holiday lets and conservation interest. The village retains a cluster of traditional stone cottages and a historic church, giving it a compact, community feel that combines coastal recreation with a strong sense of local history.
