Lynemouth is a small coastal village in Northumberland, England, sitting close to the dunes and long sands of Druridge Bay and a few miles north of Ashington. Its position on the north-east coast gives it easy access to coastal walks, birdlife and wide beaches rather than the bustle of bigger seaside towns.
Originally built to serve local coal workings, the village’s character was shaped by the colliery and the nearby Lynemouth Power Station; the decline of heavy industry brought economic change and local regeneration efforts in recent decades. Today it feels like a resilient, tight-knit community with strong links to its industrial past and the surrounding natural landscape.
