Our Location
The bustling town of Alnwick, with its famous Castle and Gardens is within easy reach (5 miles) as is the rest of Northumberland’s stunning heritage coastline, ideal for walking and cycling. Amble, two miles south of Warkworth (approximately 4 miles from Eastfield Hall), has a marina and offers water sports, fishing trips and excursions to Coquet Island an offshore RSPB sanctuary.
Things to Do in the Area
You can travel by boat from the castle (or follow a shady path) upstream to the Hermitage, an unusual refuge dug into the face of the bluff by some hermit in the 14th century. Not much is known about him, but he hollowed out a chapel and two living chambers on two floors connected by steps. Hermits lived here in the 16th century. Coquet Island offshore was also supposed to be a retreat for solitary monks. Warkworth Castle is the most splendid ruin of its type in Northumberland. It has not been extensively restored as were the castles of Bamburgh and Alnwick. The first fortification on the site was probably in 1139, with a curtain wall being added in the early 13th century. The chief building period came in the late 14th and early 15th centuries and a good deal remains from this, including the highly impressive keep. The castle came into the hands of the Percys in the late 14th century and remained theirs for some 600 year
