Warkworth Castle
Warkworth Castle is a medieval fortress on a loop of the River Coquet in Northumberland, England, long held by the Percy family. The site centres on a large multi-storey rectangular keep and an inner bailey surrounded by curtain walls and towers; later additions include a 15th-century Montagu Tower and unfinished collegiate church foundations. The castle is now a ruined historic monument cared for by English Heritage.

As it stood in 1470
The shape it held in its prime.
A dominant, multi-storey rectangular keep with crenellated parapet stands at the heart of a broad inner bailey, built of pale, weathered sandstone; lower curtain walls with battlements and several round and rectangular towers enclose the courtyard. The site sits within a looping bend of the River Coquet, with grassy bailey and visible foundations of domestic ranges and an arched vaulted undercroft at the keep's base. Roofs of ancillary ranges and the unfinished church are absent in places.
