Warkworth Beach

Nestled beneath the romantic ruins of Warkworth Castle, this peaceful shingle beach alongside the River Coquet offers a more intimate coastal experience. The narrow strip of shoreline, accessible via a pleasant walk from the medieval village, provides excellent fishing opportunities and stunning views back toward the castle's imposing towers. While not ideal for swimming due to the river's tidal nature, the beach rewards visitors with tranquil solitude and the chance to explore the fascinating hermitage carved into the riverside cliffs nearby.
