Absolutely stunning! Alnwick Castle is one of those rare places that feels both grand and welcoming. The architecture is jaw-dropping, and the setting over the River Aln is gorgeous. The staff are friendly, and the guided tours add a lot of colour to the history — from medieval battles, to its military museum, to its modern fame as “Hogwarts” in the Harry Potter films. The state rooms are also beautifully preserved and reek of state level opulence. It can get busy and the tickets aren’t cheap, we paid £19 for being in the 60+ dementia category, down from £22 for normal adults, but it’s worth every penny for the experience. Don’t skip a walk through the nearby gardens (closed for us today because of winds)or a look over the castle walls — the views of Alnwick town are fantastic.

This path wasn't a highlight for me, but if you want to walk around the city once, it's probably the best. Otherwise, there are much nicer walks in the area! If, like us, you're too stingy to pay the castle entrance fee, there are at least some good views from here. You share the path with the cows (watch out for the cow dung), and there are no benches or anything else.

Statt entlang der Straße entlang der Aln 😊(we took a shortcut cut to avoid walking along the street)

There are great views of the castle , river and surrounding countryside on this section

A triangle with slightly inward-curving sides forms the unusual basic shape for the War Memorial in Alnwick, as here, too, wartime conflicts led to the loss of life. The three corners of the brick base each serve as a pedestal for a statue, so that the memorial is surrounded by three mourning soldiers. The dividing walls of the base are inscribed with inscriptions. A round column rises from the center, towering significantly above the soldiers and crowned at its top by a lantern.

For several centuries, the bridge at this point has allowed travelers to effortlessly cross the River Aln. Although the distance from source to mouth is only about 40 kilometers, the river lends its name to both the town of Alnwick and the castle perched on a hill. Symbolically, the bridge structure is guarded by an elegantly crafted stone lion, which also serves as the heraldic animal of the local noble Percy family.

Standing around 26 meters high, Brizlee Tower dominates the skyline of Hulne Park for miles around. It was built in the 18th century by the 1st Duke of Northumberland in memory of his wife, Elizabeth Percy, the 1st Duchess.

The Harry Hotspur statue is located within the Alnwick conservation area on the grassed area with seating. Not far from the entrance to Alnwick Castle. This area has a large amount of historical content
