Day 26 May 24th Amble.

By now you will have noticed that we like to visit old castles and today was no exception. We’re still in Amble and just a mile down the road is Warkworth Castle. So of we went this morning, a pleasant walk along beside the river Coquet. A couple of hours learning about the history of Warkworth Castle and the Percy family that owned it between the 14th to 17th century. For a ruin, it is remarkably intact.

Just as we finished at the castle and were exploring the village the rain started. The first of many heavy showers today then a short thunder storm this evening.

Theres some strongish winds coming over the next few days so we are staying put here for a while. Tomorrow we visit Bamburgh Castle just north of here.
