Bench by the River Coquet

Highlight • Viewpoint

NCN1 doesn't actually follow the 'main' road through Warkworth, although it's easy to assume it does - and the village itself is worth visiting. But this little spot - on the actual signed route, down by the river - has a few benches, and is a lovely place to take a break.

Warkworth Castle

Highlight • Castle

Lying atop a steep hilltop above the river Croquet, Warkworth Castle is an impressive fortress with towered walls that remain largely intact. Built in the 12th century, the castle had famous owners such as the Percy family who were one of the most powerful families in the North at the time. Their son 'Harry Hotspur' was a character in Henry IV by Shakespeare.

Today, you can visit the castle from 10am to 6pm daily. Tickets for adults cost £7.20. The castle also hosts various events such as medieval myths and legends. You can find more information, here: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/warkworth-castle-and-hermitage

View of Alnmouth and the Estuary

Highlight • Settlement

This section of NCN1 drops down towards Alnmouth, and as it does so reveals lovely views across the estuary, to the town itself. Many of the houses in view are brightly and attractively painted, and the whole view is entirely pleasant!
