What's life like in Lynemouth?

weve just moved into Lynemouth 2 weeks ago from the Right side of the penines!!!  House prices very good value.                              We looked on police web about crime and it was just stuff like teenages hanging about cos theres nothing to do just like at home (sheffield /tinsley) since theres no youth clubs etc. Just secure your garden as well as you can and we have a large dog anyway. Get one if you havent cos its a brilliant place for dogs and everyones got one. Its a friendly doggie community and the availability of walks and closeness to the beach is fab.                                                                                                                                                                                The car insurance hasnt changed  so that proves its not a big deal. We are using quite a few local trades people to get jobs done and they are very accomodating and right on it very quickly.                                                                                                                                          The difference in the noise level is amaising. We are at alottment side of village and its all birds and gentle whooshing from wind turbines with the occasional chicken,goose and duck noise. 3 miles/5 min drive to Creswell beach with fab cafe. 10mins to 23 hr Asda, Aldi,Lidle.   Hope this helps ...come and visit..

Lived in lynemouth 10 years or so. Villagers say good morning and are pleasant. Where on earth is there no no petty crime. My opinion only.  lynemouth is every bit as good a any place in uk. A mile or so from the the most beautiful beach in uk. Cycle tracks? Walks etc. We have retired here and more than pleased. Hope this helps. Richie

Hi my names John,

I’ve just bought a house in the village to retire too with my wife. . I currently live in London and am looking forward to meeting new people in the area. 

omg we are all heading up here. My other half born and bred in Fulham and I worked in London for 7yrs. You'll love it. Dont bring any more southerners it'll ruin the place and we'll have to build another wall HA ha ...... Let us know when you arrive we know a nice real ale mini pub and good fish and chip shop xx Liz and Peter

Thank you for letting me join your forum.  I am looking to retire in 2021/22.  We have been holidaying in Northumberland for over 20 years and if we can't retire to Northumberland (due to family commitments at the moment),  Option B - we would like to buy a caravan which we could use regularly and stay for long periods.  It would be lovely to be a part of a community and get to know people.  So this is my starting block.  We are coming up to Northumberland in a couple of weeks to start our search so any any advice on anything, would be gratefully received.  Look forward to being up there soon. x

My husband and I retired here in 2018 and it is lovely and peaceful. The only downside I have at the moment is I am awaiting a knee operation and 90% of the time we can park right outside our gate. Sadly a neighbour thinks it's OK to park there when either his gate area is occupied by a stranger or they have family.  This was approached a while ago but sadly feels its OK to do it again.
