Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill.
A mile and a half round the loop of the Coquet that the village sits in, from the Market Cross at Dial Place up Castle Terrace to the castle gate, round the grass of the Butts under the keep, then down to the river and back over the fourteenth-century fortified bridge into Bridge Street. Short, mostly paved and lit, which makes it the walk to do last thing from one of the village pubs. The county dog control PSPO carries no exclusion here and requires a lead of no more than 1.5m on the classified road through the village and in St Lawrence's churchyard. The Butts is open grass and unfenced from the road.
Daytime cafe and courtyard in the middle of Warkworth, good for breakfast before the castle opens. It is dog friendly, but the dog-friendly tables are a limited set: say you have a dog when you reserve, because they are subject to availability. The courtyard is the pleasanter half in fine weather.
A stone pub on Castle Street with benches at the front and a sheltered yard behind that the landlord calls the yar-den. The inn describes itself as dog friendly and does bar food and B&B rooms, all en suite. It does not state whether dogs may stay in the bedrooms, so ask before booking.
A small riverside site on Morwick Road for tents, caravans and campervans, with a walkway down to the Coquet that suits an early dog walk. The site takes well-behaved dogs as a matter of course. Warkworth village and castle are a mile and a half north.
