Broad beach at low tide

Beautiful castle on a hill above the village

Jammed with bumper-to-bumper traffic on a Monday afternoon—no fun. Next time, I'd come during off-peak hours.

This is misnamed. It's not Warkworth castle which is known for its daffs in spring

North of the town of Alnwick, across the River Aln, sits the castle of the noble Percy family, who have resided here for centuries. A stone lion was already visible on the bridge over the river. And on this extremely imposing monument in the south of the town, the heraldic animal of the noble house, in whose honor and praise it was erected, is represented three times: two have settled at the base of this massive column, and the third stands majestically at the very top, crowning the "Tenantry Column." User @mkirby has already documented a detailed article on the history of the building, which is over 200 years old.

A triangle with slightly inward-curving sides forms the unusual basic shape for the War Memorial in Alnwick, as here, too, wartime conflicts led to the loss of life. The three corners of the brick base each serve as a pedestal for a statue, so that the memorial is surrounded by three mourning soldiers. The dividing walls of the base are inscribed with inscriptions. A round column rises from the center, towering significantly above the soldiers and crowned at its top by a lantern.

I would recommend a true off roader for this route as it is rather hard on normal bikes

Alnmouth is famed for its seaside views, tranquil beach, and stone-built houses. Sitting in one of Northumberland's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it makes for a beautiful scene seeing it from across the Aln estuary here just off the A1068.
