About Rock

Rock lies in Northumberland's coastal countryside, about 8km northeast of Alnwick and 50km north of Newcastle. Reach it via the A1 to Alnwick, then the B1340 and local roads through rolling farmland that slopes toward dramatic North Sea cliffs. Scottish visitors often drive down the A1 from Edinburgh (90km), whilst locals use the quieter B6347 from Embleton. With over 20 public EV chargers nearby, it's well-placed for exploring the Northumberland Coast AONB. The village sits just 3km from the imposing ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle.
