Today, The Wildlife Trusts completed the purchase of part of the historic Rothbury Estate in Northumberland – with plans to secure the whole estate for the nation. An important place in the hearts of Northumbrians, the land – which includes the popular Simonside Hills – is home to rare and endangered wildlife including curlews, bilberry bumblebees, emperor moths and red squirrels.

Over the coming months, The Wildlife Trusts nationally and Northumberland Wildlife Trust plan to buy the whole estate, so that we can preserve its rich heritage for future generations and create sustainable futures with the local community, who we’ll be consulting throughout. We’ve launched a fundraising appeal to make these next steps a reality and would love for you to join us on this exciting journey!

Warkworth castle 🏰 with a twist of Autumn 🍂 ~ Always a stunning sight along the coastal route the castle gives magical sights every season from the spring daffodil display and snowy winter scenes but autumn with its cosy oranges and warmth really is one of my favourites.

There’s been a castle on this site since the 12th century, the town and its castle occupied a loop of the River Coquet. The castle was built at the south end of the town, guarding the narrow neck of the loop.
