The Coquet runs into the north sea at Amble, just to the east of Warkworth and about 20kms north of the Wansbeck, and is the next main river north of the Wansbeck at Cambois. Just offshore from the river mouth is the lovely Coquet Island which is a nature reserve.
Yes the Coquet does have its source/sources in the Cheviot Hills from where in wends its way eastwards through Rothbury, Warkworth and Amble and eventually into the North Sea. Warkworth Castle is beautifully situated on high ground in a loop of the River Coquet which afforded it natural protection around 3/4 of its perimeter.
