Word of warning there are not that many trains from Newcastle to Alnmouth. There will not be taxis waiting at Alnmouth it is a very small station you may have to book one in advance.

 

Taxi from North Shields to Newcastle about £20 each way. Alnmouth to Alnwick £10 to £15 each way.

 

If you want I can check with a local taxi what the fare would be direct.

Thanks again for your kindness. I can book a taxi online.

above link shows various ways to get from cruise terminal [assume North Shields] and costs/times

 

how long are you in port?

 

quickest way is obviously taxi if you want to maximise time at Alnwick castle

 

the taxi/train route will give you an opportunity to explore Newcastle which has its own charms as well

 

The bus route I wouldn't recommend due to time and frequent stops

Thank you for the link.

We will be in town between 8am - 5pm. But actually we have between 9am - 4pm to visit Alnwick castle & garden. This is why I am trying to combine taxi & train to minimize our traveling time. If we were to take a taxi from the cruise port to Newcastle train station, can you give me an approximate cost for the ride? If the combination between taxi & train turns out to be more than 100£, we may just take a taxi from port to Alnwick. Again thank you very much for your help

We will be in Newcastle in July via a cruise ship. While in town, we would like to visit the Alnwick castle. From my research so far, I think my best option is to take a taxi from the cruise port to Newcastle's train station. Take the train from Newcastle to Alnmouth, then a taxi from Alnmouth to Alnwick. Would someone please confirm if this is the correct route or maybe suggest a better option. Thanks in advance for your help
