Location Map

This is the second largest inhabited castle in England, after Windsor, and has been home to the Percy family since 1309. The Abbot’s Tower, the Middle Gateway and the Constable’s Tower all date back to this period. Also of interest is the pietra-dura cabinets in the magnificent Drawing Room which feature the cipher of Louis XIV and were originally made in the 17th Century for his palace at Versailles, and the state coach which was used to transport the Third Duke of Northumberland to the coronation of France’s Charles X.

	Alnwick Castle is a fabulous day out and is a great treat for Harry Potter fans. The gardens are beautiful and there is lots of space for children to run about. There are often events such as medieval games and falconry and a visit to the tree house for lunch is a must but if you prefer, there is ample room for a picnic. It is easy to find from the A1 and is well worth the entry fee. - Jess42
