Explore this magnificent castle - former seat of the Percy family, then head to one of the excellent cafés or pubs in the village.

Warkworth village is a classic Norman layout and the imposing castle should be on the top 5 to visit. Again, English Heritage own and run the site so members and Barclays Premier guests get free access and parking. A great audio tour is provided. Often events are hosted throughout the year in the grounds and the impressively sized and designed keep gives a good understanding of life in the period. Take a walk down by the Coquet river at the base of the castle to the Hermitage (crossing provided by Mick the Boatman), to an early single person religious hermits cave carved into the cliffside. Finish off with a drink or food in the Mason's down in town.

Major attraction - you can actually see the castle from your room when the sun shines on it at the right time of day! Ruined now but taken care of by English Heritage. They often have medieval events!
