Alnwick Castle To many people, their first sight of this glorious medieval castle can seem foreboding, and certainly its history lacks nothing in drama and intrigue. Some of you may recognise us as a film location, for everything from Harry Potter to Elizabeth to Becket to Blackadder. Yet today Alnwick Castle is very much a living castle, at the heart of thriving estates and businesses. There is so much to see and do - history, art, landscape, fun for the children, dining, shopping, exploring - and I hope these pages give you a taste of our 'Windsor of the North'. Do enjoy this virtual visit and we hope you can soon join us in person. Click the photo for More Information.

The centrepiece is the Grand Cascade, but the Rose Garden and the ornamental garden are a joy to behold throughout the year. Alnwick Castle is a completely separate attraction. An Alnwick Garden ticket doesn’t give admission to any other attraction in Alnwick. Click the photo for More Information.
Chillingham Castle This remarkable castle with its alarming dungeons and torture chamber has, since the twelve-hundreds, been continuously owned by the family of the Earls Grey and their relations. You will see active restoration of complex masonry, metalwork and ornamental plaster as the great halls thrive with day to day life. A wide diversity of rooms and style give a refreshing difference to the Castle. Click the photo for More Information.
