Sarah's World Tour of Northumberland - part 4
This is Alnwick Castle, pronounced "Anne-ick", about 35 mins drive North of me. One of the big 4 landmark castles in Northumberland and the second largest inhabited castle in the UK, second only to Windsor Castle. This is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland aka the Percy Family a very powerful family.
This one really is a beauty. I had the whole walk to myself this morning, I took some snaps before just sitting and chilling by the weir a bit further along.
Yes you can go inside most of it though there are private quarters in the main keep. There is also an attached gardens which are a major tourist draw. I'm not going in as I've been many times before but if you want to see inside the walls watch the Harry Potter films as this is the real Hogwarts.
