Alnwick & Edinburgh

Alnwick, pronounced to rhyme with ‘panic’, is perhaps what you would do if you missed out on a visit to this bustling medieval market town. Twisting cobbled streets with an eclectic collection of individual shops are teamed with some of the country’s top attractions, including Alnwick Castle, dubbed the Windsor of the North; Alnwick Castle was the location for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Home of the Percy family and Dukes of Northumberland since 1309, alongside is the Duchess of Northumberland’s blooming marvellous creation – The Alnwick Garden. There is always something to do in Alnwick, one thing is for sure; a magical time awaits you in this spellbinding town.
