THE most dog-friendly spot on the Northumberland coast has been revealed.

Warkworth was named one of Britain's best beaches for dogs by Vets Now, the UK's leading provider of emergency veterinary care.

The Northumberland beach was named as one of the UK’s most dog-friendly coastal spots, which was just one of six English beaches selected for the guide.

The guide highlights beaches that are welcoming to dogs and offer safe, sociable spaces for walking, paddling, and playing.

Warkworth was praised for its majestic golden sands, spacious setting, and proximity to a pretty village and spectacular castle.

The guide considered access, seasonal restrictions, on-site facilities, and nearby dog-friendly spots.

While the beach is welcoming, Vets Now warns that emergencies do occur, with clinics seeing a marked rise in beach-related emergencies every summer.
