With its impressive medieval castle, charming village streets and beautiful riverside and coastal walks, this picturesque spot has plenty to offer whether you’re after history, fresh sea air or a peaceful day exploring somewhere new. Here are three reasons why Warkworth should be on your list to visit.
Dramatic Medieval Castle
Warkworth Castle dominates the village skyline. This spectacular 14th-century fortress was the ancient seat of the powerful Percy family, Dukes of Northumberland. Step back in time and explore the floors and rooms in the magnificent cross-shaped keep.
Charming aesthetic
Warkworth has some incredible riverside walks. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, the village features beautiful stone cottages, independent boutique shops, and cozy pubs and cafés. We love Bertram’s for a delicious meal somewhere with excellent vibes!
Unique sandy shores
With views of Coquet Island, sandy shores and grassy topped sand dunes, the beach is particularly lovely. Paw friendly, all year round, Warkworth beach is a real hidden gem.
