The county of Northumberland has a castle it seems almost in every town and indeed there are more castles here per square mile, than in any other English county. This castle has a complicated past but came into possession of the dynasty of the Dukes of Northumberland in the late 19th Century. It is a Grade 1 listed building and a scheduled ancient monument. Its mound famously bursts into life with a girdle of daffodils in the spring and it's wonderful to see the castle with its full yellow necklace of gorgeous daffs. There are lots of events at the castle in the summer and you may find a few battles going on or a bit of jousting in the grounds come the warmer weather.
Embleton Bay, with its stunning views towards the ancient Dunstanburgh Castle, won Beach of the Year in the Countryfile awards this year but Warkworth beach is one of my favourites. The beach and its dramatic windswept sand dunes stretches for miles along the bay and as you reach the end you come upon the surprise river inlet where you can see across to the village of Alnmouth on the other side of the water.. The golf course is on top of the hill where the sand dunes finish and is fringed by rolling farmland sprinkled with wildflowers in the spring and summer. The old Celtic cross stands as a testament to the Christian history of this part of the world.
