Warkworth Castle was once home to the illustrious Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland. One of the most illustrious members of their family, “Harry Hotspur”, was immortalized by none other than William Shakespeare himself in the play Henry IV.

Guests can climb the stairs of the impressive cross-shaped keep for some gorgeous views of the surrounding area, and explore the rooms, halls, and nooks and crannies of this old ruin. Imaginations will run wild in a place like this, with its crumbling stone walls and foundations of old towers. Points of interest are marked with placards and informational signs, but Warkworth Castle also offers an in-depth audio guide for those who wish to learn more about what they see.
