The Neighborhood:

From broomsticks to bookshops, tree houses to cherry blossoms, and jousts to dragons, you can't miss the magic of the cobbled market town of Alnwick.



Visiting Alnwick is like stepping into a fairytale town, where you can dine in the twinkling treetops of one of the world’s largest treehouse restaurants, fly a broomstick at Alnwick Castle, and discover the intrigue of the poison garden at The Alnwick Garden.



Alnwick Castle is spellbinding. Discover the magic of Harry Potter and the castle's starring role in the Harry Potter movies as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enjoy the beautiful castle grounds where you can discover local wildlife, learn more about the landscape design, as well as immerse yourself in the local history and the castle's medieval architecture, the opulent Italianate State Rooms and the fine and decorative art collections, and the historic artefacts in the castle’s museums.



Combine your visit with a trip to The Alnwick Garden, one of the most spectacular gardens in the UK. This enchanting site holds 4000 different plants, a Grand Cascade, a mysterious Poison Garden full of deadly plants and a seasonal cherry orchard. Explore The Alnwick Treehouse, where indoor branches are intertwined with sparkling fairy lights and a flickering open fire takes centre stage. Those who are a little more adventurous can reach the restaurant via a wobbly bridge that becomes even more spectacular at night as fairy lights line the outdoor area. Visit The Alnwick Garden and their village of play, Lilidorei, where you're in for a treat with their wide range of events and magical days out!



Don't miss Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery, which holds over 10,000 years of history in its charming stone walls. You can admire its beautiful architecture while you discover artefacts, photographs and audio-visual displays that showcase fascinating stories and culture through time.



Just a short walk through Alnwick’s winding cobbled streets and past the archway of Bondgate Tower, the only remaining chunk of the town walls, will take you to Barter Books.
