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 may recognize Alnwick as a film location,
for everything from Harry Potter to Elizabeth to Becket to Blackadder.
Alnwick Castle is very much a living castle, at the heart of thriving estates and businesses; and is still occupied by the current owner, as it has
been for nearly seven hundred years.
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 the 'Windsor of the
North'.
