Low Hauxley is a small village in Northumberland, just a mile from Amble, south along the lane along the seafront. It is combined with High Hauxley, a little inland, to give a civil parish of Hauxley.

Near the village is an important archaeological site, with an early Bronze Age cemetery as well as Mesolithic and Iron Age remains, but with much erosion. A major rescue dig was mounted for 13 weeks, between June and September 2013. Results were broadcast on Channel 4's Time Team special on 2 March 2014.[1]
