Discover Alnwick & The Surrounding Area

Visiting Alnwick, pronounced to sound like ‘panic’ without the ‘p’, is like stepping into a fairytale, where you can dine in the twinkling treetops of one of the world’s largest treehouses, fly a broomstick at Alnwick Castle, and visit a sleeping giant at The Alnwick Garden.

Just a short walk through Alnwick’s winding streets and past the archway of Bondgate Tower, the only remaining part of the town walls, will take you to Barter Books. Housed in a former Victorian railway station, it is now one of the largest second-hand bookshops in the UK, complete with one of the cosiest cafés in the county, and is just a short walk from Castle Walk House.

Alnwick Castle is spellbinding, with its starring role as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry adding a hint of magic to the grounds. Discover the history of its medieval architecture and magnificent Italianate State Rooms, home to the Percy family, Dukes of Northumberland for centuries. It's a fantastic day out for the whole family.

Combine your visit with a trip to The Alnwick Garden, an enchanting attraction featuring thousands of plants, the spectacular Grand Cascade, a mysterious Poison Garden and a beautiful cherry orchard. From late April to early May, the magnificent Japanese Taihaku cherry blossoms burst into bloom, creating a breathtaking display. Relax on one of the swinging benches and watch the delicate petals flutter in the breeze.

Families will also love Lilidorei, a magical play village at The Alnwick Garden, home to an enormous wooden play structure and a world of imaginative adventures for children.

Explore The Alnwick Treehouse, where indoor branches are intertwined with sparkling fairy lights and a flickering open fire takes centre stage. Those feeling adventurous can reach the restaurant via a wobbly bridge, which becomes even more spectacular in the evening as fairy lights illuminate the outdoor area.

Don't miss Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery, which holds over 10,000 years of history within its charming stone walls. Located in Alnwick's historic Castle Quarter, the former church is now home to fascinating artefacts, photographs and audiovisual displays that tell the stories of the area's rich heritage.

Beautiful Northumberland beaches are also just 5 miles away, perfect for coastal walks, family days out and exploring the stunning coastline.
