COQUET (The), a river of Northumberland. It rises among the Cheviots, a short way within Scotland; enters England under Blackhall hill, 14 miles NW of Otterburn; runs 24 miles east-south-eastward, past Alwinton and Rothbury; then goes about 11 miles east-north-eastward, past Felton and Warkworth to the sea, opposite Coquet Island. Its last reach, below Warkworth, is navigable. Its general course is winding and picturesque. Its bed has yielded many fine crystals, cornelians, agates, and other gems; and its waters cherish a good salmon fishery, belonging to the Duke of Northumberland.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
