Longhoughton is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, England, set on low-lying farmland a short distance from the North Sea and the sandy stretches of Druridge Bay. The landscape mixes arable fields and coastal dunes with long views out towards the Farne Islands on clear days, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers while remaining quietly rural.
There is a strong local history visible in the stone church and traditional cottages, and the economy has long combined farming and coastal activities with more modern influences: nearby RAF Boulmer and the tiny fishing community at Boulmer both shape employment and community life, while tourism from visitors heading to Alnwick and the coast brings seasonal trade to pubs and B&Bs. The village keeps a close-knit, community-focused feel with local events and services reflecting its rural heritage.
