Warkworth is a village in the county of Northumberland. It is probably best known for its well-preserved medieval castle, church and hermitage.
Warkworth is situated in a loop of the River Coquet, about 1 mile from the Northumberland coast.
It is 30 miles north of Newcastle, and about 40 miles south of the Scottish border. An ancient bridge of two arches crosses the river at Warkworth, with a fortified gateway on the road mounting to the castle

In 1332 the Percys gained Warkworth, and it became their favourite residence.
