The Burgage Holders of Alnmouth Common
Our website will, we hope, promote the awareness of the work we do in conservation and maintenance of the common land which is the constitutional role of the Burgage Holders. The work is ongoing and you can often see our team out and about busy with projects through out the year. The income from our beach car park enables us to do this and also helps us support local charities, schools and village organisations.
The ancient obligations of the Burgage Holders of Alnmouth Common are met by a committee of volunteers who work hard to translate those responsibilities into modern times.
There are scenic walks along the beach, and over on Bracken Hill there are strategically placed benches from which to enjoy the great views over the golf course, beach and Coquet Island. Within the Common, there is a 3 acre pond – this is an important habitat for wildlife e.g. duck, geese, moor hens, coots, frogs and toads. It is a unique environmental presence on the Northumberland coast and is part of the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We hope that you enjoy your time here and respect this unique environment and, if you can, please “leave it better than you find it”
