Longhoughton is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, England, set close to the North Sea and a few miles north of the market town of Alnwick. The settlement mixes agricultural countryside with coastal character, and its long history is reflected in older buildings and the parish church; nearby RAF Boulmer has also shaped the community through employment and service families.
Local life is quietly village-centred, with a pub, village hall and community activities, while farming, small businesses and some tourism from walkers and coastal visitors underpin the local economy. It makes a handy base for exploring the scenic Northumberland coast and the historic towns and castles of the region without being a busy tourist centre itself.
