The Fenwick Gallery is an individualistic shop selling art, ornaments and jewellery. Very…read moredefinitely at the upper end of the market it showcases original artwork and unique and original decorative items for the home. With prices of many items running into hundreds of pounds though these are no run of the mill gifts. The jewellery is really lovely and more within the budget of the average person, I could easily have spent a small fortune on jewellery alone! :-) Nevertheless there are some really interesting pieces on display and it is definitely worth a look round if you're in Warkworth.

After spending the morning at Alnwick Castle, we came to Barter Books for lunch and browsing. The cafe is adorable and cozy, and our party of seven was promptly seated. You order at the register and you do not want to sleep on the rarebit--it's so good! While it had just a tad too much mustard than remembered, it was still so gooey and heart-warming (and certainly more impressive than the pile of gloop that was our daughter's mac-n-cheese...let's just pretend that never happened). The beans on toast was also comforting and perfect in such a setting. Fries (chips!) are well-made, and the accompanying salad has a tangy vinaigrette. The whole bookstore is a converted train station and it's massive and we would have perused the titles for several more hours had we not had four children in our party. It was still a lovely time exploring the store, roaming the aisles, and getting lost in old books. We bought a few to bring home, as well as some other swag. And obviously you don't want to miss seeing the famed original "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster. This is just one of those magical places that you really can't describe, but once you go, you'll get it. Five unequivocal stars.

The interior is a little dated but that doesn't really matter. The card choice is average and this shop doesn't supply anything out of the ordinary, I'm afraid. I wish I could find a those cards that are particularly mean or inappropriate like Happy Divorce! but there are none in this shop! The staff are mostly pleasant but are not particularly helpful.
