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.

Jammed with bumper-to-bumper traffic on a Monday afternoon—no fun. Next time, I'd come during off-peak hours.

Great for a photo

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.
