Only accessible by a rowing boat run by English Heritage, Sundays and Mondays only, Spring to Autumn. You have to book a spot at Warkworth Castle in person, on the day.

The 'Great Puffin', wings outstretched prepares for take-off. Inspired by artworks from the early bronze and iron ages that can be found in the area, it looks like it is carved in stone.

Grab a Geordie Banger, they’re fantastic if you’re on a stroll past the “Amble Pea Pods”

Many people go on boat trips from this location. The harbour area is a decent size with a marina, Coguet Island about 1 mile out from the pier ends, the views are good

This is the old bridge crossing the River Coquet. The water was fast flowing and quite high due to the snow melting yesterday. The new bridge is just to the left of the one in the photo.

Its worth paying to enter the castle, but if you don't want to, there is a path all the way around the outside of the walls where you can still get a good look

The river Coquet tumbles through the Northumberland countryside and comes to the sea at nearby Amble. Here at Warkworth it goes round the town in a nice graceful arc, its banks being a place of serenity for runners, walkers and cyclists.
