Warkworth Castle and Hermitage

Once home to the powerful Percy family who now reside in Alnwick Castle, Warkworth was and remains one of the largest and most impressive fortresses in North East England. It was once home to 'Harry Hotspur', hero of many Border ballads and the bane of Scots raiders.

It’s a great place to visit, friendly staff , informative devices for the history. Stunning castle with a lot of exiting views . Can bring dogs and children here too.

Daniel Gurney

Get into the main keep, its the main attraction . A bonus if the state rooms are open

Paul Murphy

my wife has limited mobility - however for a large castle this only had a couple of dozen 'easy' steps

Richard Findlay

Check that castle is open before you travel a distance to visit
