cottages near Warkworth Castle
Perched upon a hill-top overlooking the River Coquet in
Northumberland, the imposing Warkworth Castle has been enjoying
this panoramic vista for over 900 years. As the largest fortress in
Northumberland, the castle proved a vital stronghold during times
of Anglo-Scottish conflict, and was home to the powerful Percy
family for around 400 years. Follow in the footsteps of the most
famous of the Percy's, Harry Hotspur, celebrated English Knight
and bane of Scottish raiders, by taking a trip to Warkworth on your
next cottage holiday in Northumberland. We have over 50
Northumbrian holiday cottages within a short drive of Warkworth
Castle, meaning you can enjoy a great family day out within minutes
of leaving the front door of your Northumberland holiday
cottage!
So much to see and do at Warkworth Castle & Hermitage
With its rich and notably bloody history, there really is a lot
to learn within the walls of Warkworth. As soon as you've laid
eyes on the castle's arresting exterior, you'll know that

Northumberland cottage holiday. Stroll across the castle's lush
lawns absorbing the beauty of the Great Tower, before taking
advantage of Warkworth's free audio guide, which offers further

the kids too with the English Heritage's interactive
'Discovery Sacks' and 'Step Inside' activity
sheets, before letting them loose in the grounds of the castle,
where they're free to recreate some of the more grisly scenes
from Warkworth's murky past!
So when can I visit Warkworth Castle?
The English Heritage opens Warkworth Castle to the public seven
days a week from 10am to 6pm, so you're free to stay the full
