- If you plan to visit Northumberland Amble is a great place to see. There's still a fishing industry in the town plus boat trips round the nearby "Coquet Island" where you'll see Seals and numerous species is the Puffin, but the island is most important for the largest colony of the endangered Roseate Tern in Britain. Other nesting birds include Sandwich Tern, Common Tern, Arctic Tern, Black-legged Kittiwake, Fulmar, three gull species and Eider Duck.
The town holds the title 'Friendliest Port'. This derives from the 1930s when the RMS Mauretania was heading on her last voyage to the breaker's yard at Rosyth and the Amble Urban District Council sent a telegram to the ship saying "still the finest ship on the seas". The Mauretania replied with greetings,
"TO THE LAST AND FRIENDLIEST PORT IN ENGLAND"
All sunlight and wooly jumpers!
A lovely Dansfield Square montage would have finished that off nicely.
Very nice video thank you and I loved the music - very 1950/60s!
The tune isn't normally this long, I had to extend it to fit the video. Glad you liked it.
10 years ago - and up it pops like a good 'un. Love the North East and the bit inbetween Newcastle and Berwick is simple the best. But eh!, keep it quiet...
beautiful that video thanks
Who’s here after Brad 😂
Now it’s all ruined bc holiday makers I live here
Hardly anything left of the fishing industry and the mines closed years ago so without holiday makers Amble would find it hard to survive.
Was just there last week was great i even parked my VW campervan on the double yellows and fed the seagals!

The handysides. Now in nz but miss the regular trips to the friendliest port
Lovely video. Music is wondeful! What's the tune? Gosh it takes me back to a happier time! Many thanks in advance☺️.
The tune is called:
Crepe Suzette and composed by Cyril Watters.
I've extended it for the vidio, it's normally around 3 minutes long.
The music reminds me of the BBC test card that we used to enjoy before daytime TV was invented.
