Wark is a
peaceful village
lying between
the North Tyne
River and the
vast forests of
the Northumbria
National Park to
the west. Wark
Chipchase Castle
which sits on
the opposite
side of the
river was once
vital to the
control of the
area in its
lawless and
turbulent
distant past. As
a result of past
conflicts, all
that remains of
the castle is
its motte (the
mound on which
it was built). |
