Be king or queen for the day in this mighty Northumbrian fortress crowning the hilltop above the River Coquet. Enjoy a winter day out and see how the powerful Percy family lived. Explore the floors and rooms in the magnificent cross-shaped keep which was once home to ‘Harry Hotspur’, immortalised as a rebel lord by Shakespeare, and bane of Scottish raiders. See spectacular river and coastal views from the castle walls.
