Warkworth is a compact riverside parish in Northumberland, sitting on the north bank of the River Coquet close to the coast and a few miles south of Amble and east of Alnwick. The village is dominated by Warkworth Castle, a largely intact medieval keep long associated with the Percy family, and a distinctive cliffside hermitage; narrow streets, a riverside quay and nearby sandy shorelines give it a very photogenic, historic feel.
The local economy leans on tourism, farming and small independent businesses, with visitors drawn to heritage, birdwatching and coastal walking. Community life is quiet but active, with village events, craft outlets and conservation efforts helping to preserve the character while many residents commute to larger towns for work.
