Alnwick – Castles and Charm

Alnwick, a delightful market town in Northumberland, is best known for its stunning Alnwick Castle, famously featured in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. The castle’s grand walls and sweeping grounds are a must-see, and right next door, the Alnwick Garden impresses with its fountains, treehouse restaurant, and even a poison garden! The town itself has cobbled streets, independent shops, and plenty of cozy cafés to enjoy. Though it feels tucked away, Alnwick is only about 90 minutes from Edinburgh by train or car, making it a brilliant day trip where history, magic, and English countryside charm all come together. #harry_potter
