Alnmouth Original Paintings | Paintings of Alnmouth Northumberland Coast – Alan Reed
Northumberland Coast of Alnmouth
Alnmouth is a small village situated on the Northumbrian coast. After viewing the rooms in the property, I wandered around the estuary that the property overlooks. I felt inspired to paint some new scenes to compliment the ones I already had.

Pastel coloured houses strung along the River Aln welcome you to Alnmouth. Alnmouth has a vast diversity of bird and wildlife species, and a stunning sandy tranquil beach. This is where the River Aln meets the North Sea. There is no question why this village is named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
When you’re in Alnmouth, be sure to visit The Ferryman’s Hut, the smallest museum in Northumberland. This bite-size bit of history was originally used by ferrymen when they would row passengers back and forth across the River Aln. The last ferryman was believed to have stopped working in the 1960s. The museum is donned with pictures and stories of him and his predecessors.
