Warkworth Castle and Hermitage form one of the most unusual pairs of medieval monuments in Britain. The castle was probably laid out in its present form in about 1200 and was the favoured residence of the powerful Percy family from the 14th to the 17th centuries. As the Earls (and later Dukes) of Northumberland, they were among the greatest landowners in northern England. Nearby, on the banks of the river Coquet and accessible only by boat, are the remains of a chapel known as the hermitage, carved directly out of the cliff rock.

Warkworth Castle was built in the 12th century by the Earl of Northumberland. This was a timber castle which was described as feeble and left undefended when the scots attacked in 1173. The stone castle was built in the early 1300's with the stone keep added in the late 1300's. The castle was damaged in the English Civil war (mid 1600's). In the late 19th century the castle was refurbished as a house rather than a fortress. The Grade 1 listed building is now managed by English Heritage.
