Amble Harbour Village is the cluster of colourful wooden pods along the harbour, home to small independent businesses selling crafts, gifts, local food and coffee. It's also where Puffin Cruises sails from, out to Coquet Island.
Why it's on our list: it's the lively heart of Amble's harbour, full of small local traders, and easy to combine with a wander along the quay, a boat trip and fish and chips. Amble likes to call itself the friendliest port in England, and this is where you'll feel it.
Worth knowing: individual pods keep their own hours, and many are quieter out of season. Sunday brings the Quayside Sunday Market.
We enjoyed probably one of the last days of summer just pottering around the harbour in Amble and found it very relaxing. The little retail pods are an upgrade and make it more interesting but I'm not sure there's anything I would want to buy. I'm not sure what would make it better though.
