Best known for its castle, which was recently used as a location for Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter film series, Warkworth is a charming small village with a colourful history and an attractive 1200-year old church. The Percy Family, who also have a residence at Alnwick castle, acquired the castle in 1332. The village’s main street is lined with Georgian and early Victorian houses with a good selection of galleries, antique shops, gift shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants – a browsers paradise and an ideal way to while away your time in this pretty part of the world. Bamburgh Castle, Hadrian’s Wall and Holy Island are all within striking distance and for those who can’t bear to be away from the fairway, there’s a nine-hole golf course.
