URPoint Details
Almost hidden by the cottages in the village is a hump of rock and crumbling walls all that is left of a Norman castle built about 1160 on the River Coquet.
In the surrounding countryside are the furrows and ridges of old ploughed lands where crops were grown to support Norman barons.
At Drake Stone, sick children were taken there believing that the site would cure them!
