WARKWORTH CASTLE.
This castle is finely situated on the bank of the Coquet, about a mile from the east coast of Northumberland. It is unique in design, the keep, erected later than some of the rest, in the fifteenth century, being specially remarkable for having a square tower projecting from each of its sides, and for the high observatory tower in the centre, which commands extensive views both by sea and land. This castle was the home of the Percys, and Shakespeare makes Hotspur read the letter of a certain "pagan rascal' within its walls. It was in a very bad state when, in 1856, the then Duke of Northumberland had the ruins carefully repaired, and some of the rooms restored in oak and tapestry. The celebrated Hermitage of Warkworth, cut in solid rock, is about half a mile away, on the opposite bank of the river.
