Warkworth in Northumberland is a compact riverside village tucked into a horseshoe bend of the River Coquet, just inland from the North Sea. Its skyline is dominated by Warkworth Castle, a largely medieval keep long associated with the Percy family, and nearby you can find the atmospheric Warkworth Hermitage and a pretty parish church set among narrow streets and a traditional village green.
The village lives largely on tourism and local services, with visitors drawn to riverside walks, birdlife around Coquet Island, independent shops, tearooms and pubs, while agriculture and coastal fisheries remain part of the wider local economy. It sits within easy reach of the market town of Alnwick and retains a strong community feel, hosting seasonal events and serving as a popular base for exploring the Northumberland coast and countryside.
