Fancy a leisurely trip up the beautiful river Coquet in about 1900? Seeing the sights along the way from the collier-packed harbour of Amble to the wilds of Philhope and Makendon close to the river source. On the way you will glimpse the ever-imposing Warkworth castle from the river, Rothbury racecourse , young ladies fishing at Harbottle and many more beautiful images.
