Alnmouth is a small coastal village in Northumberland located at the mouth of the River Aln, the railway station located on the East Coast Mainline is now also the stop for passengers going to Alnwick. It is a popular holiday location close to Bamburgh, Seahouses and Lindisfarne. It is home to one of the oldest golf courses in England.

The station was opened 1847 by the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, and from 1854 run by the North Eastern Railway. On 1 October 1850 it became the junction for the Alnwick branch line and was significantly upgraded by the NER in 1887–88. It became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the North Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The Alnwick branch service was withdrawn in January 1968, with freight traffic ending in October the same year. The station had an additional platform face on the ‘down’ (northbound) side for use by branch trains, but this lost its track in the early 1970s after the branch closed (along with the buildings on that side) and was removed altogether prior to the station being refurbished in 2004. The main building on the southbound platform is not original – it was erected in 1987 to replace the original structures constructed when the Alnwick branch opened in 1850.
