Elwick is a tiny hamlet in the north of Northumberland, overlooking the broad bay formed by the county's mainland coast and Holy Island to the north. The mudflats are broad here at low tide, and crossed by becks with such names as "Stinking Goat" and "Foulwork Burn".

Elwick itself is not directly on the shore, though a short footpath leads out to the coastline, though not to any landing place.
