@fabiodambros85: 📍Warkworth Castle, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 The Warkworth Castle is a medieval fortress located in the village of Warkworth, in the northeast of England. Its history dates back to the 12th century, when it was built around 1150 by a Norman nobleman named Henry Percy, who was also known as “Harry Hotspur”. The castle was constructed in a strategic position, on the edge of the River Coquet and close to the sea, allowing easy access to maritime transportation and control over the region. Throughout the centuries, Warkworth Castle passed through various hands and played different roles. It was used as a residence for the Percy family, a noble and powerful family in the region. During the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century, the castle was involved in the conflicts between the houses of York and Lancaster. During the Tudor period, the castle lost its military importance and was converted into a luxurious residence. However, during the English Civil War in the 17th century, the castle was besieged and damaged by parliamentary troops. Warkworth Castle was abandoned in the 18th century and fell into a state of ruin. However, nowadays, it is still possible to visit the impressive ruins of the castle. The massive walls, the imposing towers, and the traces of past grandeur are witnesses to the rich history and strategic importance of the castle. In addition to the castle ruins, the village of Warkworth offers a charming atmosphere with its picturesque streets and a Norman church. Warkworth Castle is now managed by English Heritage and is a popular destination for visitors who wish to explore England’s medieval history. #warkworth #warkworthcastle #englishheritage #enlgish #heritage #History #northumberland #visitnortumberland #england #visitengland #castle #castles #medieval #medievalcastle #bestcastle #medievalarchitecture #castleview #dji #djiglobal #drone
