Boulmer Northumberland Map

About Boulmer

Boulmer, a coastal hamlet in Northumberland, breathes the sharp tang of the North Sea. It lies 7.9 km east of Alnwick (from Alnwick: bearing 81°T, OS grid NU 266 143), and is situated east-south-east of Longhoughton village. Its small harbour, where colourful fishing boats bob with the tide, has long been a focal point, a place where livelihoods have been drawn from the grey-green waters for centuries. The cottages, their stone walls weathered by the wind and salt spray, huddle together as if for warmth against the vast expanse of sky. A quietude pervades Boulmer, a sense of patient endurance honed by the elements, where the cries of gulls are the dominant chorus and the distant murmur of the waves provides a constant, almost hypnotic, accompaniment to daily life.
