A Village Shop with Character
Nestled in the heart of Warkworth, a picturesque Northumberland village framed by the River Coquet and a medieval castle, Gray's Northumberland Ltd occupies a traditional stone building on Castle Street. More than just a retail space, it feels like a carefully kept secret for those who appreciate understated style and quality craftsmanship. The shop has been trading in this location since 2007, growing steadily into a trusted destination for fashion accessories that balance classic appeal with contemporary touches. Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with displays thoughtfully arranged to invite browsing. The focus is on accessories for women – scarves, shawls, jewellery, handbags, purses, gloves and small leather goods – many of which reflect a distinctly British or European sensibility. The selection changes seasonally, so there is often something new to discover, whether it’s a soft cashmere wrap for cooler months or a lightweight silk scarf for summer.Style and Selection
Gray's specialises in fashion accessories rather than clothing, making it ideal for picking up a thoughtful gift or treating yourself to a small luxury. Scarves and wraps are a particular highlight, with a range of fabrics, patterns and textures that suit both casual and more formal occasions. The jewellery collection tends toward elegant, wearable pieces rather than bold statement items, while the handbags and purses often feature quality leather and practical designs. The shop’s aesthetic leans towards timeless rather than trendy, favouring pieces that feel polished and enduring. Many items are well-suited to layering with everyday outfits or dressing up an evening look, and there is a noticeable emphasis on comfort and wearability. Staff are known for their helpful, unhurried approach, happy to offer suggestions or local tips without pressure, adding to the shop’s reputation as a pleasant, low-key place to spend time.Warkworth as a Setting
The charm of Gray's is inseparable from its setting in Warkworth, a village often described as one of Northumberland’s hidden gems. Just steps from the shop, visitors can explore Warkworth Castle, wander along the banks of the River Coquet, or walk the short distance to the unspoilt beach at Warkworth Harbour. The village itself has a quiet, historic feel, with stone cottages, a few traditional pubs and cafes, and a strong sense of local character. Because of this, a visit to Gray's often becomes part of a broader day out in the area. After browsing the shop, it is easy to continue with a coffee in a nearby café, a walk through the castle grounds, or a stroll along the coastal path. The shop’s location on Castle Street places it at the heart of the village, making it a natural stop for those exploring Warkworth on foot, whether they are staying locally or visiting for the day.Practical Details for Visitors
The shop is open seven days a week, with consistent hours that make it accessible to both locals and tourists. It is small in size, so visits are typically short to moderate in length, but the quality of the selection and the pleasant atmosphere often encourage a more leisurely browse. There is no entrance fee, and the shop is suitable for adults and older children who enjoy browsing accessories or shopping with family. Parking in Warkworth is limited but manageable, with public car parks within a short walk of Castle Street. The village is compact and pedestrian-friendly, so combining a visit to Gray's with other nearby attractions is straightforward. For those arriving by public transport, the nearest major rail station is in Alnmouth, from where a taxi or local bus can bring you into the village centre.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
