Warkworth Castle, Medieval fortress in Warkworth, England
The stone castle stands on a hilltop above the River Coquet, featuring a massive keep with cross-shaped layout and protective curtain walls.
The Percy family received the castle in 1332 and transformed it from a wooden structure into a stone fortress during the following centuries.
The castle maintains its great hall, private chambers, and chapel, representing the residential and ceremonial spaces of medieval English nobility.
English Heritage operates guided tours from April to September between 10 AM and 5 PM, with reduced hours during winter months.
The castle's cross-shaped keep contains a full medieval house arrangement across three floors, including kitchens, great chamber, and chapel.
