Description
Warkworth is prettily situated in a loop of the River Coquet. The castle, which is mentioned in Shakespeare's "Henry IV", was founded in 1139 and has been in the possession of the Percy family since 1332. Of particular interest are the keep, a later addition, which, despite being without its roof, is well preserved, and the Lion's Tower (1480). St Laurence's Church, largely Norman in style, is also notable.
