Situated in the beautiful countryside of North Northumberland, the bustling medieval market town of Alnwick is home to some world class visitor attractions. Taking centre stage, magnificent Alnwick Castle was the location for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films and alongside this is the Duchess of Northumberland’s fabulous horticultural creation The Alnwick Garden, which boasts one of world’s largest tree houses and the Grand Cascade. Alnwick’s twisting cobbled streets has an eclectic collection of individual shops including Barter Books, one of the UK’s largest second hand bookshops.
