WARKWORTH, Northumberland

When Fran saw this place on the map not far off the A1 (the road to Edinburgh), she was determined to stop in on the way back. Warkworth in NZ, where Fran grew up, was named after Warkworth in Northumberland by Warkworth's (NZ) founder John Anderson brown. He was born there and thought the place looked pretty similar.
This is true, both towns are situated on the meander loop of a tidal river, near the sea, both feature a bridge and bridge house. Warkworth in NZ is, however, missing a castle and an impressive one at that.

You can read more about the history of either town here:

I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
