Built by the first Earl of Northumberland, the castle was besieged by the Scots in 1327 and played a key role in the long-running war between England and Scotland. It was damaged during the English Civil War (1642\u20131651) supporting Parliament. The 8th Duke of Northumberland gave custody of the castle to the Office of Works, which oversees the maintenance of royal castles and residences in 1922.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Direct Access worked with English Heritage to enhance the interpretation, signage, and connected routes across Warkworth. A key part of the programme was to engage with local disability communities to highlight interpretation opportunities and work with the design team throughout each stage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This project considerably improved the visitor experience at the castle; introducing new interpretations and activities to engage, inspire, and increase dwell time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Occupying a commanding position above the banks of the river Coquet, Warkworth Castle is an extravagant masterpiece of late medieval castle design.
