Travel + Stay

Newton-by-the Sea is a two-part village with three of the best beaches on the stunning Northumberland coast.  High Newton is home to the well-known Joiner's Arms gastropub, as well as the venue for our big day, Newton Hall. The Ship Inn in Low Newton was voted one of the best coastal pubs in the country. 

The nearby village of Embleton has a small shop/post office, petrol station, golf club, and three pubs. Slightly farther to the south is the fishing village of Craster, where the Jolly Fisherman pub provides good food, and there is a coastal walk to the imposing Dunstanburgh Castle. 

Seahouses is the nearest town, just six miles away, a bustling seaside town with a working harbour and a fish smokery in the old quarter. There are lots of shops, restaurants and gift shops, as well the best fish and chips for miles. 

Bamburgh, a few miles farther north, is a quaint village that has lots to offer in term of old-world charm and history, and regularly features on film and TV. 

Inland, 20 minutes away, is the market town of Alnwick, famous for its castle and garden, where you will find a wide variety of shops, supermarkets, places to eat and other services.
