Castles
Sat high on a hill overlooking the Coquet River,Warkworth Castle must be one of the prettiest castles in Northumberland and is well worth a visit. The castle and hermitage is owned by English Hertiage and you are invited to come and see how the Dukes of Northumberland once lived. Warkworth Castle was also once the home of the legendary Harry Hotspur who was immortalised by Shakespeare as a rebel lord and bane of the Scottish raiders. You can pick up a free audio tour to discover more about the castle’s fascinating history which spans back more than 600 years.
Whilst exploring the state rooms, castle walls or taking in the magnificent cross shaped keep you will also be rewarded with stunning views over the coast and River
Coquet as it wends its way round the castle and down towards the sea.
Hourglass are committed to helping our guests get the most out of their holiday through sharing our knowledge and passion for this hidden kingdom.
