It’s a place that you can get a stunning view of from the train on a sunny day and a certain Northumberland village is mixing it with some of the most sought after postcodes in the country, having been named as one of the ‘most stylish’ places to live in the whole of the UK.
Here at ChronicleLive, we are well aware of Northumberland’s beauty. It’s a county with vast landscapes, stunning walks, any amount of photo opportunities and some striking landmarks. Just ask the millions of viewers who’ve watched Vera for the last 14 years, as the region has provided the backdrop for plenty of murder mysteries involving Brenda Blethyn et al in the hit ITV drama, including its final two episodes that aired to huge audiences in January.
And it’s actually a place used many times in Vera that we are turning our attention to for the purposes of this article. Step into the spotlight Alnmouth, which last year received some national acclaim, as it made it onto a list of the most desirable postcodes in the UK Brenda and her Vera colleagues have taken up residence by the sea in Alnmouth on numerous occasions while featuring the 14 series of Vera,, including in both 2018 and 2019.
Alnmouth is on a list of the 60 ‘most stylish’ places to live in the UK by online store Furniturebox, Looking at the results, a spokesperson for the brand commented: “Alnmouth is the most stylish place to live in Northumberland. All 60 places on the list would have been worthy winners and show why the UK is such a stylish country, loved by artists, film-makers and tourists from all over the world.”
Moving onto talk about the influence of social media on Northumberland as a whole, as well as shows like Vera boosting its profile, they added: “What is interesting is how influential Instagram has become in boosting tourism in many of our top 60, particularly around Northumberland. It is a massive help for visitor numbers, too, if a popular film or TV show uses a town or village as a location.”
As well as being in close proximity to Alnwick and the stunning Charlton Hall estate, where the luxury Tempus hotel is located, Alnmouth has its own train station, making it a great place for both tourists and busy commuters. Pub wise, anyone who’s a fan of a traditional boozer will love the likes of The Hope & Anchor, The Sun Inn and The Red Lion, while Bistro 23 comes vey highly rated for its food.
