It signals the end of the town’s major Harbour Village development project.

Julia Aston, of Amble Development Trust, said: “The walkway means that there is pedestrian access from the Harbour Village round the harbour to the Coquet Street car park. People will be able to enjoy a longer walk along our wonderful harbourside.”

Interim fencing has been installed at the Coquet Street entrance to the walkway by the county council. This is a temporary barrier until the land which previously housed Coquet Shorebase Trust is sold.

The National Cycle Network route runs through the Coquet Street car park and around the edge of the Marina to the Braid.
