Welcome to Warkworth Castle, a captivating medieval fortress with a rich history. You can tour its formidable stone walls, towers and gates. The castle's architecture reflects the transition from medieval military fortifications to more comfortable and ornate residences. You can wander around the great hall, kitchens and various chambers to get a glimpse of medieval life.
The castle is situated in a picturesque location, next to the River Coquet and surrounded by beautiful countryside. From here you can enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding landscape.

Warkworth Beach

Open Details
One of my all-time favourite UK beaches, Warkworth is great year-round (although it's chilly in the winter so bring something warm if traveling over the colder months!)
Spread out your picnic blanket and spend an hour or so enjoying the sound of the waves and the fresh North Sea air!

Open every day from 10 am-5 pm, Bamburgh Castle is one of North England's most impressive fortifications!
Spend an hour or so exploring the castle before heading back to Seahouses for some food!
If you're feeling up to it then why not walk back along the coast!
If you'd like a less physical route back then head into Bamburgh and hop on the bus back to Seahouses.
